SFSU is not seen as a top notch university. It is not ranked that high at all supposably. The quality of the subject-matters could have been deeper explained. Sometimes I felt as if I wasn't learning THAT much but perhaps I chose some wrong classes.

Personal recommendation
I had the best time of my life there! Not only cause of the beautiful city that San Francisco is, but also due to all the great friends4life that I have met during my stay. If you want to get to know the Americans well, you'd have to take the initiative! Another option which I'd highly recommend is to join the IEEC (International Education Exchange Council) to meet more international/local students and to be more involved, for instance in the social activities.

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.

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.

The city of san francisco is very nice and the weather here is what I love most about the city. The teachers are great and will give you plenty of knowledge, however it can be a bit hard to make friends if you are not outgoing or shy
