Housing and Relocation Resources
for New and Prospective Students

Welcome to CIIS! We are thrilled to welcome you to the San Francisco Bay Area and to our unique educational community. By downloading the document below, you will find a general overview of Housing and Relocation resources that we hope will help you with your transition to the Bay Area.

In this guide, you will find useful tips, housing related internet sites, and short-term housing options, including an introduction to our Guest Hosting Program. We also offer descriptions of all of the San Francisco neighborhoods to help you make the best decision for your needs and lifestyle.

We have also included some general San Francisco information on things such as transportation, important phone numbers, local government information, hospitals, interesting statistics, annual festivals, and in general, helpful information to assist you in learning about your new home.

We hope this is helpful as you prepare to join us in the Bay Area!
