Housing Crisis Grows At University

20 November 2000 - 12:00pm

San Francisco State University faces a housing crisis as students struggle to find a place to live.

"Dozens of students are said to have withdrawn from programs at the university, telling officials that affordable housing is too hard to find. Others are giving up on finding housing close to campus, relegating themselves to long commutes from surrounding communities. The housing crisis started last spring semester, when toxic mold was discovered at a residential building on campus. More than 650 students were forced to evacuate the building and were left scrambling for dwelling alternatives. "
