    San Francisco State University is a very accepting school, not to mention it is located in the best city, San Francisco. The students attending are nothing but nice, helpful, and bubbly. The instructors stress on using their office hours and emails if students need anything. The President of SFSU interacts with many students on campus and very cool! There are freshmen who tour the campus and fall in love. The campus is very beautiful with a lot of great views from every direction.

    Diversity is huge on campus and so is the fashion sense. If you are a prospective student looking to come here, take the time to visit and trend spot, the fashion sense is so 'San Francisco', which is pretty cool. Get to know as many people as possible, word gets around and the more people you know, the better your social life!
