Samuel is studying at SFCM (Aug 2013)

Samuel has been in San Francisco for one month. He is totally adapted to the new environment.

School arranged a dorm for him. The picture of the room below is from Internet. There is a small refrigerator in his room. Residents share a big kitchen. He has a rice cooker and he cooks for himself.

The hotel he stays is called Golden Gate Hall. It's marked B(Market St.) on the map and his school is at A(Oak St). They are close.
 
Picture of Golden Gate Hall taken from Google map is shown below.

His school(at San Francisco) is about 40 minutes from Palo Alto where Isaac lives.

Samuel applies for work study. School may assign him to help in the library. He is still waiting for the arrangement.

He takes 18 credits this semester. Almost all of them are related to violin performance. He practices hard under his new teacher. We are expecting to hear his music at the end of the year when semester ends.
