👍 Great Fit If You Are:
Justice-driven learners
if you're fired up by equity, health, housing, or education reform, USF puts you in the field.
Urban-engaged students
if you want your classroom to include the city’s streets, this is it.
Nursing and public health heroes
USF’s programs are hands-on, mission-driven, and deeply respected in the Bay Area.
Faith-and-action types
if Jesuit values like compassion and service move you, you'll feel at home here.
Diversity embracers

🚨 Not Ideal For:
STEM purists
science is present but not the institutional focus (no engineering school).
Prestige-chasers
USF is respected locally, but not considered elite nationally.
Greek-life seekers
social life is more cause-driven than party-driven.
Suburban peace lovers
this is a city campus with noise, pace, and complexity.
Apolitical students
activism, identity, and social issues are part of daily life here.
