Expensive city but great college.
Tips: I was surprised by how accepting fun and innovative the vibe in SFO was. People are always creating and if you're a passionate individual or interested in teaching, you'll fit right in. The weather is also really nice but travelling within the US is expensive and takes around 5 to 6 hours by air so your options are limited. Rent is extremely high so find someone to share with and learn to budget.
