Hey guys…this is a post mainly for the UoP students, but if any pre-dents can help then please do.
I know there’s probably another thread out there for this but please help me out here. I’m going to be in San Francisco on Sat. Oct 27 until 31. I remember reading on here a while ago some students advertising rooms in their houses and I think a frat house or something along those lines. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could respond here or pm about this.
Thanks
Ps. I’m a guy I know it makes a difference sometimes.

Hey,

Wish I could help you, but I don't live alone and that's also a bad weekend for me since I'll be out of town Saturday and I'm sure my roommates wouldn't appreciate a person I didn't know hanging out while I'm not even in the city. But here's a couple options if you can't find anyone to let you crash:

It's a hostel on Sacramento about 6 blocks from school. It's a nicer type of hostel that has private rooms and private baths available if you want them. For a shared room and shared bath, you can get a price for as low as $210 for the week...it's probably cheaper than any hotel for 4 days even for a semi private accommodation. They book up fast though.

This is a motel I stayed at once and it's in a cool area right off Union St near the bars and shopping area and a hop away from the Marina. A cab ride to school is just $5 from here. The rates are decent, usually $75 to 85 a night, which is cheap for SF.

i stayed at the marina inn when i was up there... it wasn't so bad...i caught the mini bus to the school...it was less than a 20 mins ride and $1.50. It was easy to navigate. In the brochure the school sent out, it gives the website to the mini bus system. i just typed in the address of where i was coming from and to the school and it tells you exactly where to go. The marina inn cost me $68...another guy stayed at the queen anne and walked to the school...6 blocks...it was plesant walking around san fran...
have fun there...i really enjoyed the interview

Check the interview lodging thread. I believe armorshell volunteered his couch for any prospective UOP'ers.

i know that many med schools arrange to have a current student host the prospective students...i wonder why dental schools haven't arranged such a program yet???
