The University of San Francisco has been a major fixture in its namesake city for over 150 years, both as a significant contributor to the area’s academic community and as a gorgeous architectural landmark of the Bay Area. Nicknamed “The Hilltop,” USF’s main campus enjoys an incredible position on Lone Mountain, allowing for amazing views of the surrounding cityscape and the bay. Founded as a Catholic institution, service is a major component of campus life and the school’s Jesuit mission is represented throughout the university’s curriculum. Living near the University of San Francisco puts you right at the center of the action: the Presidio, Golden Gate Park, Haight-Ashbury, and the Fillmore District are all within a couple of blocks of the campus, giving you direct access to the signature locales of one of America’s most distinctive cities. Apartments in the city are famously pricey, but with BART public transportation options you have an enormous range of options to find the perfect apartment, house, or condo to suit your lifestyle as well as your budget.
