"My semester at SFSU was a fun, enriching and unforgettable experience. Even though it is such a large university, the staff and students were extremely welcoming and it was easy to make friends. San Francisco is one of the most liberal and exciting cities in the US and student life has much to offer both on and off campus. Whether sightseeing, attending student performances or going to the famous international students’ Pint Nights, every second was thoroughly enjoyed!"
