Where to rent in San Francisco? Post-MBA MBB. The 1BRs I see online are all $3,000+ (and that’s for the non-high-end/modern ones) or in the Tenderloin area which is supposed to be dangerous... :|

In terms of actual neighborhoods: nob hill, Russian hill, pac heights, lower pac heights, are generally palatable to most. Mission/Castro if you want more sf flavor. North beach is alright too. I personally think Cole Valley/Haight/NoPa is underrated and Hayes Valley is overrated but that’s just me. Stay away from soma, mid market, and civic center. And mission bay unless you want a new building and nothing to do on the weekends

Okay actual answer: get roommates, use craigslist (I’ve def seen some for 2-2.5k in decent areas)

Tenderloin is crazy dangerous. If you are crazy enough to decide to rent there, I recommend you spend a full 24 hours walking the streets. No sleep. Just hanging out. On a Friday night. If you survive, you’ll be good to go to sign that lease. IF you survive 😜

Why? Move somewhere else. Or buy a camper. Or a boat

You could try somewhere suburban with families etc. I rent a 1100 SQ ft 2bd in the inner Richmond for $3200. Negotiate down from $3500

Same. I’m in an old apartment building in a 500+ Sq ft studio for $2800 in North Beach

lol I’m paying 1500 for a newly renovated 2 BR/1 BA in Noe Valley ✌🏼

1500 being my share (3000 total)

Oakland

Thanks everyone (special shout-out to Analyst 1). Will explore those neighborhoods. Don’t love the idea of having roommates again, but seems like that’s the way to go.

Good luck OP! A few more thoughts: marina is for overgrown frat stars if that’s your thing, Richmond is indeed more affordable but also far but it has good Asian food, same with sunset. And if you’re going to live in the mission try to keep a decent distance (few blocks) from the bart stations - those get sketchy at night. Noe Valley and Bernal Heights are nice too, but also farther, quieter (less bars), and more suburban (and more families)

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?
