Future students get sneak peak of SFSU life at campus preview event
SFSU offers the best value among universities in California
- By Matt Itelson
Congratulations, you have been admitted to San Francisco State University! What’s ahead for you on our campus this fall?
Over 1,700 admitted high school and community college students got an early look on April 11 at “Explore SFSU: Admitted Student Day,” a campuswide preview of academics, student life and the opportunities waiting in San Francisco.
Throughout the free day-long event, students who have been admitted to SFSU and their families enjoyed campus tours, open houses at academic programs and student services and assistance with financial aid. The day concluded with a mixer for students to get to know each other.
Along the way, they also learned what sets SFSU apart: strong return on investment, national recognition for social mobility and a location in the heart of one of the country’s most innovative cities — a hub for industries like artificial intelligence and a leading job market for recent graduates.
“I have always been fascinated by the diverse culture, history and landmarks that make San Francisco such a unique and exciting place to live and learn,” said Himaank Dabra, a Finance and Economics major who leads campus tours. “My classes at SFSU have inspired me to start my own business after graduation.”
This year’s “Explore SFSU” event brought rain, but the University was prepared, modifying activities and providing raincoats to Gators working the event throughout the 144-acre campus.
“I watched hundreds of my colleagues and current students answer questions, give directions, describe what makes an SFSU education special and, most importantly, demonstrate that we are a caring and welcoming community,” President Lynn Mahoney said.
