The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is a public research university and the only UC campus dedicated entirely to graduate-level study in the health sciences. Located across multiple campuses in San Francisco, including Parnassus and Mission Bay, UCSF offers graduate and professional programs through its schools of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, Pharmacy, and the Graduate Division. UCSF welcomes international students and supports F-1 and J-1 visa students through its International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO).
USH offers homestay accommodation for international students attending the University of California, San Francisco. Everything is included in one flat monthly rate — your furnished room, Wi-Fi, utilities, and an English-speaking American host family. No lease to sign. No credit history needed. No furniture to buy. Just arrive and settle in.
Your host family is your first connection to American life. You practice English every day at home — not just in the classroom. You learn how Americans cook, celebrate, and live. Many international students say their host family became some of their closest friends in the US.
Short stays of 4 weeks and longer stays are both available, so your housing near UCSF matches your program length exactly. Airport pickup is available upon request — contact our office for details.
