San Francisco State offers a variety of opportunities for success in one's own positive approach. Additionally, SF State provides a unique bachelor's degree that is centered in my field of study.

Hello, my name is Sara Collins! I’m a sophomore at SFSU, majoring in classics and minoring in anthropology! I chose SFSU because of its amazing classics program, and it’s tendency to amplify marginalized voices. As the daughter of a female immigrant, growing up I wanted a place that felt like I belonged!

This job has given me an opportunity to give back to a school that I feel has given me an irreplaceable sense of self.

Hi! I’m Becca Wilson, (any pronouns), a senior majoring in Sociology. I am also really interested in cinema, my minor. I went to SF State because it offers a wide variety of majors and classes to figure out what you want to do, maybe something you never expected to. The people here are dedicated to helping the students do whatever they set their minds to. That, and being located in San Francisco means it is a bus ride away from all sorts of exciting places.

I became a tour guide to showcase the fascinating stories and facts that SFSU has to offer to everyone.
