Woo! Hey Pacific class of 2009! 😉
Bouncy_Ball... couple questions for you!
Can any student go into the student housing building even if they don't live there?
How is the private garage like? is it pretty crowded or like a parking structure?
Thanks 😀
I'll go ahead and answer and throw in my 2 cents as well
Any student can go to student housing if you know someone there (which you will). The security guards are off and on about whether a resident calls you in first, but I have never had a problem.
I don't know much about the parking garage but I do know that it's under the building and you have assigned spots. AND not everyone gets a spot, BUT the parking in the surrounding area is not too bad and you don't really need a car in SF anyways.
Personally I live in a beautiful 1 bedroom that's 2 blocks from school. I absolutely love the neighborhood (1/2 block to a huge park, and 1/2 to Starbucks,Peets, and Coffe Bean!) but I'm paying a lot for it. If you don't have a sig other to live with I would recommend trying to get into housing, and if you don't get in to housing try to be as close to the school as possible.
You can start looking at craigslist if you're set on not living in student housing, and if you're picky (like me) allow your self a lot of time to find a place. I wanted hardwood floors, period detailing and a remodeled kitchen and I got it, but I stayed at my parents house in Marin for the first month of school!
Anyways, keep the questions coming, I just finished winter quarter!
