Housing - San Anselmo Campus

---

Student life at San Francisco Theological Seminary is enriched by on-campus housing just a short stroll from the quaint downtown area of San Anselmo. The town has literally grown up around the Seminary, emerging as an antique capital with cafes, restaurants, galleries, shops and even a small winery. The Seminary also boasts close proximity to one of Northern California’s most popular biking corridors, making San Anselmo and neighboring towns very friendly to those traveling on two wheels. With unobstructed views of majestic Mt. Tamalpais from campus, SFTS students can find solace and inspiration in surrounding parklands, whether mountain biking or hiking on an expansive trails system. As for culture, San Francisco is only a 30-minute drive from campus, providing SFTS students with an incredibly rich home away from home to pursue their calls to ministry.

Please note that housing on the SFTS Northern California campus is provided primarily for students enrolled full-time in a degree program. Priorities in the assignment of housing, published in the Housing Policy, are based on the degree program and the number of people in the household, with first priority going to full-time M.Div. students. Eligibility for housing is also limited to a certain number of years for each degree program. Applications for housing should be submitted promptly after admission, by May 1 at the latest. Housing assignments are made in the order of receipt of the tuition deposit. While the Seminary makes every effort to accommodate all students who need Seminary housing, no guarantee of placement is implied by admission to the degree program. SFTS has the luxury of offering a variety of housing from solo units to shared apartments to family housing. Utilities are included in the rent of most apartments and all buildings are wired for cable television.
