HOUSING IN SAN FRANCISCO
As soon as you are accepted into one of our courses, you should start arranging your accommodation. If you have any problems with finding suitable accommodation, please contact us and ask for our help. (Please note: if you arrange accommodation through St Giles, we charge a 5% arrangement fee).
Most of the people on our courses stay in the residence hotels/clubs listed below. They are all within walking-distance of the institute. People who stay in them say that they offer good value for money, but that they are certainly not luxurious! (Good hotels in San Francisco are very expensive. You can expect to pay between $900 and $1500 per month depending on the hotel, time of year, and type of room).
We recommend that you book early, especially for accommodation during the summer period.
