General Information

Library Access: Visiting medical students are welcome to use the general collections and public computers in the campus Library. They are not eligible for UCSF only materials, services, or discounts.

Student Union Priveleges: The Student Union (including Milberry Union Fitness Center) is available to visiting medical students who present their UCSF Visiting Student ID and a valid photo ID from their medical school.

Parking: UCSF and affiliate hospitals do not provide parking for visiting medical students. Parking at the main UCSF campus (Parnassus Heights) and San Francisco General Hospital is extremely difficult so you should make arrangements to use public transportation.

Pagers: UCSF does not issue pagers to visiting medical students. Some departments do issue pagers, but this should be discussed with the department.

UCSF Affiliate Hospitals: UCSF teaching sites and affiliate hospitals, addresses and listing.

UCSF Campus Maps: Download maps of the various UCSF campuses.

Housing: UCSF does not have on-campus housing. The Housing Services office (J Level, Millberry Union) maintains a listing of off-campus, privately owned apartments, flats, houses, rooms and various types of shared accommodations. These listings are received from the community and are not inspected by the University. 

The Housing Services office maintains a listing of housing and a listing of nearby guesthouses. These are not affiliated with UCSF in any manner and are listed solely on the basis of proximity to the campus. We cannot recommend, guarantee, or be responsible for any of these accommodations.  Browse the long-term or short-term housing options.
