If you went to UCSF or UOP or had friends who went to either of those dental schools, where did you/they live??

I live very close to the school in SOMA (UoP). Many students live nearby (<6 blocks away) and a few live a bit further out. It entirely depends on what you're looking for, how much you're willing to spend, and a variety of other factors (neighborhood, family, married, priorities, etc)

Yea but live what specific complexes do they live in? I'm currently researching places to live (even though I still haven't take the DAT...)

Mosso, SOMA Square, Trinity, etc. there are way too many to list. Many kids live in condo units as well.

So a lot of students are spending around 3k/month for housing?

Absolutely not.

Avg close to half of that ~1.5k/month. Nearly all students share apartments.

UCSF kids tend to live in the Inner Sunset area. I would imagine UOP students would live somewhere around SOMA. Housing in SF is ridiculously expensive regardless of where you live...

Isn’t SOma unsafe area ? Streets r lined w aggressive homeless and drug users ?
All apartment reviews even for a little more expensive ones were horrible
Any suggestions for somewhere close to UOP but in a safer area?
What about Rincon Hills area or any other suggestions for particular apartments would be really appreciated

I’ve spent a few nights in that area and there are definitely a lot of homeless people. I wouldn’t call them aggressive tho. Some of them are pretty chill. They’ll try to sell you drugs but you just gotta say no and keep walking semi-fast haha
Also yea I was looking at Mosso cuz it’s close to the campus but the reviews aren’t that great

Soma isn't THAT bad. Sure, as @Auntymarkovnikov said there are plenty of homeless people, but I've never had a particularly bad interaction nor encounter.

Exactly what I read - reviews were really bad and rent is high for neglected and disgusting apartments. That's why I was looking a little further but still be able to walk.
