STUDENT EXPERIENCE

During the six months of learning and living in the Bay Area, home to over 7.8 million people, students might work close to some of the world’s tallest structures while living in a 2 to 4 story neighborhood and visiting redwood forests and broad ocean beaches on the weekend, all within 45 minutes of one another.  Good public transportation in San Francisco plus commuter trains and ferries means cars are not needed for access to many different neighborhoods, parks, and regional open spaces. The combined living and learning experience prepare students for a walkable and transit-oriented urban future in most global metropolises.  Students capture and share experiences through videos and Instagram posts.

The Presidio and Crissy Field

San Francisco Parks

East Bay Regional Parks

Activities and Nightlife

Golden Gate National Recreation Area

City Neighborhoods

Student Instagram

Each year beginning in 2020 the Social Media Committee manages class content for Instagram.   This is entirely curated by the students with no faculty involvement to represent their authentic take on the SF Urban experience.
