Student Services

The ALI provides a full array of student services:
  • Access to all campus facilities: housing, student health service, library, computer labs, and sports facilities.

  • A full-time advising staff offers assistance with immigration, academic, cultural adjustment, or personal problems.

  • Workshops and individual assistance with San Francisco State University admission, applying to local Bay Area community colleges and immigration regulations.

  • A regular program of ALI social activities, such as movie nights, and local bay area field trips.

  • A Conversation Partner Program (for high intermediate and advanced students) that pairs ALI students with American university students for conversation and social activities during the fall and spring sessions only.

  • A Conversation Groups Program (for low intermediate and intermediate students) that groups four to six ALI students to practice conversation in a fun, relaxing way with two SF State MA TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) graduate students.
