America’s Romantic Icon

Study in San Francisco and go beyond first impressions to discover a city with a colorful history, vibrant cultural blend and residents that manage to be both sophisticated and laidback. San Francisco’s rolling hills provide a bay view from most points in the city. Rows of pastel-colored townhouses cling stubbornly to the sides of steep inclines and throughways like the iconic Lombard Street twist and turn their way down San Francisco’s peaks.

Spend a year in San Francisco and you’ll quickly fall under its charms. Fill your weekly shopping basket with organic produce from the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Find your favorite coffee house in the Mission and mingle among Silicon Valley-types in Nob Hill pubs. Walk from school to Chinatown and eat your daily lunch with chopsticks. San Francisco has a free spirit and you’ll be greeted by open minds no matter where you are in this city. Even the sea lions that crowd the bay’s Pier 39 are a welcoming bunch. Just as long as you keep the sardines coming.
