Si j'avais su

SFSU is not a top university. I didn't know how important it is in the US that you attend a good university. The MBA program in SFSU is quite good, but SFSU's reputation is not good enough in the job market. I should have applied to UC Berkeley or Hayward or some other better university.

Recommandation personnelle

It's a good university for almost everybody. It's a great chice for exchange students who mainly want to get a short experience in the USA because there are so many J-1 students from everywhere. About degree students (F-1), at least MBA program is ok, but you might want to apply for a top university because it makes a difference in this culture.

One helpful website in S.F. is craigslist.com. It has apartment and room listings. Subscribe to oipnews at SFSU to get info about SFSU events and to receive students' emails about housing, moving sales, book sales, etc.

very good if you want to have fund and take decent classes. It is a state university so you cannot expect too much

Commentaire personnel

If you like pubs, there's Joxer Daly's, a simple Irish pub, near SFSU in West Portal. If you like night clubs, go to downtown to South of Market, and there are plenty of choices. Castro and North Beach also are good places to do clubbing. Some really beatiful or interesting places to go in San Francisco are Twin Peaks, Buena Vista Park, Sutro Heights Park, Seacliff, old games in Cliff House and Haight Ashbury. Some cool places close to San Francisco are Berkeley Hills, Point Reyes, Tiburon, and of course Highway 1 within a few hours to north from S.F.! I think that's the best part of Highway 1 in California, and so close to San Francisco... Check your tourist guide to find other tourist traps. These were some awesome places that came into my mind now.

Dépenses habituelles

I may be wrong, but food costs about the same in Finland and in the US, I think. San Francisco has almost unlimited number of restaurants from all over the world. It's relatively cheap to dine out, but it's still possible to spend much money on that. USA is a developing country in wireless telecommunications services, so prepare to pay high cellphone bills. Housing is expensive in the Bay Area. Housing in Finland is so ridculously cheap that the difference in living costs between Finland and San Francisco is mainly due to housing. Beer is cheaper in bars here than in Finland, or you just drink less here... :) I travelled a lot in California, so I had high travel costs. Commuting in S.F. is not that expensive though.

Housing is a surprise. It's hard to get a credit card unless you have a credit history in the US. Credit history from a non-US institution is useless.

Dépenses habituelles

We can't really compare, because it's pounds and dollars, of course I would spend more in England, but because I was abroad, I spend more money on calls, travelling around ( as a tourist)…

Americans themselves are not that good at English since a lot of them are immigrants and still have English as their second language even though they are born and raised in the US
