## Where to Stay

If you don’t have friends or relatives in the SF Bay Area we would suggest starting with [Airbnb](https://www.airbnb.com/), [Craigslist](http://www.craigslist.org/), [UCSF's housing list](http://campuslifeservices.ucsf.edu/housing/default1.php), or [SFGate](http://www.sfgate.com/). Karla A. Magsalin, our Student Clerkship Coordinator of Undergraduate Medical Education, also has occasional leads on student housing.

## Where to Play

Residents, interns, office staff, nurses, hospitalists and other attending physicians tend to be a great source for recommendations. You can also log on to SFGate for lots of happenings around the Bay Area.

## How to Get Around

San Francisco has a very good mass transit system. We suggest you start with [Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART)](http://www.bart.gov/) and [San Francisco Muni](http://www.sfmuni.com/). California Pacific has shuttles to and from the Civic Center BART and Muni stations, and to all its campuses from the main Van Ness Campus.

## Contact Us

Feel free to [email](mailto:cpmcstudents@sutterhealth.org) or call us at [415-600-5847](<tel:\(415\) 600-5847>) and we can ask a resident or intern to call you back to discuss their experiences here as students or as current house staff.

We hope to see you soon!
