Life In The
City
SF State students live in one of the most beautiful and exciting places on
earth --
the San Francisco Bay Area. San Francisco, "the City," as it's called,
is full of great things to see and do.
Visit Golden Gate Park, one of
the world's great urban recreation areas. North Beach is home to
world-famous Italian
restaurants. Check out an art exhibit at the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art or the Legion of Honor. Discover
the wonders of science at the Exploratorium museum. Watch an IMAX
movie at
Sony's Metreon center. Jump on a
cable car and visit
Chinatown or Fisherman's Wharf.
You can cheer on the San Francisco
Giants, the
San Francisco 49ers and our other
professional sports teams.
Whatever your musical tastes -- hip hop, electronic,
rock or pop -- you'll find performers and venues to suit your tastes. San
Francisco has a busy nightclub
scene and lots of concert stages. Fine arts aficionados will want to check out
the San Francisco Ballet or the
San Francisco Symphony. You can find out about entertainment offerings right now
in the Bay Area.
When you want to explore beyond San Francisco, the Bay Area is
full of fun getaways. A trip over the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge will
take you to
Muir
Woods, called the best tree-lover's monument in the world. Elsewhere in
Marin County are beautiful beaches
and hiking trails.
Napa and Sonoma counties are great places
for bicycle riding and wine
tasting. Never been tubing? Try the Russian River.
Across the Bay, visit Telegraph Avenue in bohemian Berkeley or Lake
Merritt in up-and-coming Oakland.
For camping, hiking, and climbing, you can't beat spectacular Yosemite
National Park. The Lake Tahoe area has some of the best skiing and
snowboarding in the country. A drive south
along Highway 101 to Carmel, Monterey and Big Sur will take your breath
away. Be sure to keep your eyes
on the road!
