When USF only guarantees housing for Freshmen students, upperclassmen scramble near the end of the year, desperately scrolling through craigslist ads in attempts to find a place to live for the next academic year.
According to USF's website, 2,000+ students get offered housing every year. However, USF's website also states that 6,782 undergrads were enrolled for the 2015-2016 academic year. This means about 30 percent of students live on campus, but what about the other 70 percent?
It could be argued that many students live at home. Yet with about two-and-a-half weeks left in the semester, students without guaranteed housing (mostly upperclassmen) and students that don't live at home, will have to figure out their budgets and where they will be residing; on top of that, finals will ensue.
SF Gate said in a recent article: "San Francisco rents are already among the highest in the nation. But, according to a new report from RentCafe, they are projected to be 10.5 percent higher by year's end."
Best of luck to those who must resort to taking the off-campus plunge.
