San Francisco is one of the most popular, gorgeous, and cosmopolitan cities in the world. This is often the main reason students come to USF. There is always something to do in this city, whether it’s checking out the latest restaurant, taking advantage of student discounts at the world-famous SF Opera and SF Ballet, walking through Golden Gate Park or across the Golden Gate Bridge, or enjoying a stroll through the Mission, Chinatown, or North Beach. Everyone can find something about this city that they absolutely adore, but the most exciting part is the chance the city gives you to discover something new every day.
San Francisco, large and bustling as it may be, provides an excellent backdrop for the University. Whenever school becomes too stressful, students can always escape to their favorite off-campus site. Also, the abundance of history, beauty, and culture makes classroom activities more tangible and relevant. Oftentimes, classes take field trips to the city’s museums or historical sites, and some students perform community service and work with the homeless. If you’re looking for a fun, exciting, cultural, and hands-on experience, San Francisco is definitely the place to be.

You Are Attending a City School
You are in the great city of San Francisco!!!!! There is plenty of shopping and probably some of the best restaurants you will ever find. Although, since you are in the city, most students spend time off-campus rather on-campus.

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.
