Living in San Francisco

There’s a reason San Francisco is one of America’s top tourist destinations. San Francisco is a diverse, young, and vibrant city located on the west coast of the US. Known for its progressive values and innovative thinking, San Francisco shares its adventurous spirit with nearby Silicon Valley. We’re known for our world-renouned arts and culture, our colorful Victorian homes, the spectacular views you can see from the City’s seven hills, the Golden Gate Bridge, and our neighborhoods which each have their own distinctive charm.

Housing

Located in the heart of San Francisco’s elegant Pacific Heights neighborhood, the San Francisco Ballet School Residence is a three-story Edwardian building, just a short ride on public transportation from the School. Of course, students may also choose to arrange their own accommodations for independent living.

The facility accommodates 28 students under the supervision of on-site staff members. Residence programming addresses the students’ growth as responsible young adults on track to a professional career. Most rooms are double or triple occupancy, and students are matched with roommates based on age, gender, and class level, and also by request. Many rooms have private bathrooms, and there are ample hall bathrooms and showers to accommodate rooms without private facilities.
