This thread is for discussion of accommodation sharing in San Francisco. Have a house to share? Need a house? Travelling alone and want to make sure your sorted before you get there? Post here.
hi my two friends and i are travelling to san fran we were hoping to live in berkeley does anyone know how to get in contact with people about living in a frat house??? some one help please!!
Yup true! I think the hardest part is going to be getting a job. Still can't wait to go though with 2 of my best mates. Going to be easily better than last summer I spent out there as well. Try craigslist as well for acc. Some good cheap ones, but you have to be careful as to the location lol
ya im not too worried about a job a good few people ave got bac to me already and told me to call in when i arrive.i just hope i get my social secirity number fast!!!
yeah am travelling alone, just the two i was meant to be going to ocean city with pulled out d other night, so its a bit of a balls. have ye got jobs r anythin? ye havin trouble findin accommodation? ive been trying to find stuff but the net is just so vast!
Hey muirzy and fiona. Maybe the three of you shud live together. For accomodation and jobs the Sayit slice of advice sheet is useful. If ya arent going with them whisper me your email addresses and Ill send it to you.
Hello Im looking to share a place with some one for the summer looking for a mental summer so if anyone one knows of someone who mite know someone with a room to spare please let me know. cheeeeeerrrs natmwhite@hotmail.com
Go to the IIPC in San Francisco (its on Geary Blvd. and 18th Ave.) they might be able to help, check craigslist, or if you know a few who live out here ask if they no anyone you can stay with.
I went to san fran on my own, an lived in Berkeley, having the time of my life. i strongly recomend applying to live in the CO OP housing. It is full of UC Berkeley summer students and J1s. It is very cheap, and great fun. LIving in student halls of residence but not having to go to university, and meeting a wide variety of people.
me and my buddy, 21 yr old are going to san fran for the summer (1st june-2nd sept) and looking for accommodation, have seen a few nices apartments and stuff but they're all for six/ seven people so if there's anyone interested let me know and we might be able to sort something out!
hey owen, myself and my two friends are headin to san fran too, we're finding it hard to get accomodation. we're headin out the 1st of june too!!we're staying in a hostel for the first week. we only intend on stayin in san fran for the first two months though cos we wanna do a bit of travelling...we're def interested in sharing...
yeah that'd be cool, where you flyin from actually, we're heading from cork! we're thinkin of doing the same, not sure yet tho depends on the ol' money situation! we've been looking at accommodation alright, there's nothing there really. what part of san fran you thinking of staying in??
we're flyin from dublin but have to go to heathrow, then san fran, are you doin the same??think we're in hethrow round 10 how about you. are u goin with usit?where u stayin the fist nite we've a hostel for he first nite through usit. not sure where we're stayin yet, anywhere really, we're not fussy once its not near downtown its meant to very dodgy!!!where have u been lookin??do u want my email address or is this just ashandy for u????
hey catriona and owen, myself and 2 other girls are also headin to san fran on the same dates, will be on dub-heathrow! ive been looking for accomodation for ages now..quite pricey for a small group but if u guys see a big place we'd love to share with others too! il be keepin my eye out too...thanks!
hey catriona clare and owen, I'm heading to san fran myself on the J1 with usit but i'm heading out on the 28th of may. having a bit of trouble finding a place to stay and would be interested in sharing with ye.
hey claire and meatball, defo would be interested in sharing with all of u...if we all just keep an eye out and keep in contact..we have being lookin at craiglist so far but havnt found anythn,what about you's?
hey all, thats sounds class, we could get a cool place if there's loads of us. i'll be on the hunt for the next few weeks, no exams to worry about!! how many altoghter, 8 or 9? where are ye all from by the way?
I think there's 9 unless meatball has others! Ive emailed a few from craigslist...just waiting on replies...r u guys considering berkeley?or just in the city? we're up for either!
dont mind really, is berkeley in sunset? gets really foggy up there my brother was there a few years ago. dont mind really not pushed either way,what kinda price bracket are we looking at? i'll search a bit now i've got nothing else to but nurse but hangover haha
I'll be travelling alone and I don't really mind where we stay. What do ye think about emailing that usca crowd and asking is it possible for us all to being in the one house?
Right, emailed that USCA place and just waiting on a reply. I asked them how would it be possible to secure places in a house for nine people, I also said it'll be mixed because I'm presuming we don't all possess the same stuff down there. Is that sound with everyone?
yeah thats sound cool we'll see what happens sure, found something have a look: http://www.homeaway.com/USA/California/San-Francisco-and-Bay-Area/vacation-house-San-Francisco/dni/1/p122801.htm
Hi heading to san fran witth 6 others on the start of June. Looking for accomodation near the centre i.e downtown. Anyone know any other sites than craigslist? Would it be alright looking when we arrive? Any advice for me?
just keep checking craiglslist, i found www.homeaway.com handy too! i'd say try and get something before you head over, few people told me that anyway best of luck finding somewhere@
Hey, I have housing in a frat house set up in Berkeley in San Fran for five people, but looks like two wont make so looking for two people to share with for the Summer????
Contact me for details etc at tara8278@hotmail.com
I got an email from that usca crowd. they wont be able to put us all in the one house, but are willing to put us in different houses or apartments. in fairness the rates for the apartments arent that bad. for the whole summer in a four bed with your own private room is $1,221. each apartment has a bathroom, kitchen and the like. I think its a pretty sweet deal.
It's out in berkley close to the uni campus. I'm just waiting on an email back to them about applying. It costs $60 to apply each, $50 refunded if you withdraw your application. So I just asked if we could all apply together to save money and what apartments are available. If we are able to apply together then we're gonna need definite numbers. The others haven't wrote back in a while so I dunno if it's ok with them
hey sorry havent replyed in ages college stuff u know how it is!!thats sounds deadly we're def interested in that!!!the more the merrier eh!!!only thing is we'll only need accommodation for 2 months cos we're going travelling for the last month so does that make a difference on the price or is that more hassle for u??how many of us is there now???
Hey Mick, it is really hard to say as we have lots of assignments out right now and many contracts are due on Wed. Unless you get on the waiting list with a $60 deposit, we won;t hold spots for you and your friends. However, if you each give us $60 and we don't have housing for you or you don't like what we assign you, you can each get $50 of the $60 back. Hope this answers your questions. betsy
So it looks like we all have to apply individually and may not be gauranteed of a place. It's pretty close to summer and so it's even more unlikely we'll get a place. If ye want to apply that's fine, but I think I'll keep on looking.
thats a bit of balls, how do we go about applying to them? we'll still keep looking for housing tho, havent looked in a few days so must have a quick look! we could always get a big tent, sure we'll get a cheap one in lidl or somewhere haha
hi guys, im just bout sorted in a frat house in berkeley, theres some advertising on craigslist if ur interested, just search fraternity in all housing! usca.org seems like a whole loada hassle wat with showing eligibility and all!
this fella rang me he gave me a figure of $2000/week, i'll try to get it lower. its perfect location and sleeps eight, 3 double rooms, two would have to sleep on a fold out bed in the dining/living room! anyway i'll email him again to try and get it cheaper
