Tons of Stuff

There are a lot of things to do seeing as the school is in the center of the city. Everything from downtown, to the park, and the wharf. There are always a lot of events going on somewhere in the city as well as a lot cultural areas in the city that are cool to see.

Diversity at University of San Francisco

Diverse, but Not Quite

There are a lot of rich kids, mainly because it's a private school and therefore very expensive. Many students aren't rich, but I definitely feel that it's geared more toward wealthier students. There is a lot of ethnic diversity, and though it's a Catholic school, there's a lot of religious diversity as well. And being as it's in San Francisco, it's very LGBT-friendly.

Great If You Don't Mind the Search

Just like in most big cities, great food is available, but you have to sift through the average stuff. You can find most anything around the downtown area, Fisherman's Wharf, the Castro, and other neighborhoods, as long as you go out there and find it. Prepare and use Yelp to your advantage.
