Dean's Review

Review of University of San Francisco

from Fernley, NV

Describe your college in three sentences.

The University of San Francisco is a great place to learn and explore San Francisco at the same time. This University is extremely costly to attend so look at your financial aid first. Also, the dorms are not the best but you only have to spend the first year there.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

If you are the typical 3.8+GPA student who has great extracurricular activities then you are in. This University doesn't look for Stanford test scores but they want to see people who are high achievers that want to succeed.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

My classes were challenging but not to the point where a good study plan didn't help. As long as you are on top of your academics and studying, you will/can pass your classes with high marks.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The people in the dorms are great but you may find it hard to sleep some nights when the other people across the hall are being super noisy. However, you will make some great friends in the dorms so definitely don't take the camaraderie for granted.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

It will do the job to feed you and keep you well-nourished but you will quickly get over the food.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

It is SAN FRANCISCO! There is everything and anything you could want in this city. I am a DJ so I go around to all the clubs and embrace the music culture of SF. My friend is a marathon runner and is running a different marathon every month. The opportunities are endless.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

I am paying A LOT of money to go hear but I think it is worth it considering the opportunities this University and the city provide.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Go greek at USF. Greek life is the best decision I made in terms of social life and philanthropy.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great for students who want a good place to succeed all while looking for a liberal place to learn.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There are countless clubs at USF and they all have great leaders. If you want to get involved or want to be a leader on campus, go to the involvement fair and sign up for a club on campus.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

I am a member of Pi Kappa Phi and I can say Greek Life on campus is the best at USF. I have made friends in all of the sororities and fraternities. We all support each other and it is like a family at USF.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Public Safety is always on the move at USF and they even offer a shuttle service for students to get home or back to campus safely at night.
