Costumbres personales de gasto
Consumer goods are not more expensive than if you'd buy them in the Netherlands. What was expensive was the rent and also mobile telephone costs, as one also pays for incoming phonecalls.

Comentario personal
If you know someone that has a card for Costco, use it as it is a wholesaler where you can buy big quantities for less price than if you'd buy it in smaller items. Going out to dinner isn't that expensive at all, some food products that is normal to buy in the Netherlands are quite expensive over here e.g. cheese and milk.

Recomendaciones de cursos
There are many courses to chose from. It's also worthwile to attend courses that are not applicable to your study but can be seen as interesting to follow on the side. Some courses were to easy for me. Overall the teachers are very helpful and kind. Also the American students like to talk to Europeans, at least from my experience. Then again, I am also a social person that walked up to Americans myself, as most of the time they walk out of classes in a rush.

Comentario personal
Don't be late, teachers are strict on arriving on time. Also be active in class, as the teachers appreciate input from their students. Coming from the EU and having economic classes is nice as you can have other views on matters and the Americans were really interested in my opinions and experiences with the Eu/Euro. Also get involved in clubs so you can have more contact with the locals.

Valoración global
Si lo hubiera sabido...
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.

A todos les encantó, ¡y a tí también te encantará!
Factores imporantes para mi elección
(1) Sin importancia – (4) Muy importante
Recomendación personal
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.

Coming from the Netherlands, I was already familiar with the English language due to non dubbed tv shows/movies, so overall I had no problems with the language what so ever.

Alojamiento
Tipo de alojamiento: Piso o apartamento
Organizado por: Independientemente - por elección propia
Si volviera, eligiría: Piso o apartamento
¿Por qué?
I chose to live off-campus instead of on- campus as I wanted to experience the city life more and the travel to the uni. The housing market in San Francisco is one of the most expensive ones in the USA. Living Downtown or at Northbeach will be more of a financial burden compared to living in the Richmond or Sunset district (where I was situated). Housing can be found through www.craigslist.org

Comentario personal
I really liked Suite181, Ruby Skye and more clubs to be found around North Beach, Mission District and in and around the Marina. For events, check sfgate.com. So much to do! It also depends on what semester you'll be there, in case it would be 'just' for one semester. And travel through California, roadtrip down the PCH (aka Highway 101) all the way to San Diego and back through Nevada, Arizona so you can be witness of all the beautiful nature and national parks that are present.
