Full-time students at San Francisco Theological Seminary's Northern California campus can enjoy subsidized on-campus housing just a short stroll from the quaint downtown area of San Anselmo, an upscale and quiet town with cafes, restaurants, shops and excellent public schools. San Francisco is only a 30-minute drive from campus, providing SFTS students with an incredibly rich home away from home to pursue their calls to ministry.

Please note that housing on the SFTS Northern California campus is provided primarily for students enrolled full-time in a degree program. Priorities in the assignment of housing, as published in the Student Handbook, are based on the degree program and the number of people in the household, with first priority going to full-time M.Div. students. Eligibility for housing is also limited to a certain number of years for each degree program.

Applications for housing should be submitted promptly after admission, by June 1 at the latest. Housing assignments are made in the order of receipt of the tuition deposit. While the Seminary makes every effort to accommodate all students who need Seminary housing, no guarantee of placement is implied by admission to the degree program. Please apply as early as possible for priority consideration.
