dblock21Will be starting FT IB this summer in SF. I am moving from the east coast and I am looking for a few roommates this summer. PM if interested or if you know of anyone who will be starting in SF as well. Thanks

Hey dblock21, I'm starting FT IB this summer in SF as well (from east coast originally) and I'm also looking for roommates. I can't PM you bc I don't have enough banana points so if you're still looking, feel free to PM me and we can discuss further.

kmzzI live in LA and not sure if SF is considered "great weather"

I dislike extreme temperatures and rather enjoy spring/fall weather, so SF sounds good. Only problem are the abundance of hipsters/Prius's

Replace hipsters with Frat bros from Stanford and Asians from Berkeley and replace Priuses with Teslas and then you have a more accurate depiction of Finance in SF. It's a small city, but it's big enough that the hipster hoard doesn't really bother us.

Haha Teslas! Elon Musk is the man. Period.

Anyway, overall the weather in SF is solid. The "winter months" can get a bit chilly, but nothing extreme.

You fail to mention the presence of females, which leads me to believe that the majority of the population in San Fran is gay.
