Only seven miles long and seven miles wide, San Francisco is a small and easily navigable city.

It's only a few blocks from USF's campus to Golden Gate Park, with its rolling meadows and renowned museums like the de Young Museum of Art and the California Academy of Sciences. Students get off campus by going to a Giants game, catching a performance at Davies Symphony Hall, or enjoying the great food at the Ferry Building. The list of San Francisco activities is really endless.

The subway system, Bay Area Rapid Transit (or BART for short) covers most of the Bay Area, providing quick access to the East Bay, the airport, and other important destinations. The closest BART stop to USF is Civic Center.

Specific directions around San Francisco and the Bay Area using public transit are easy to find, using tools like Trip Planner and Google Maps. But every now and then, it’s fun to get a little lost—San Francisco is a great place to wander.
