Campus Visit Notes for University of San Francisco


Visit Description:

We all fell in love with USF until we found out he didn't qualify for any gift aid. They have one scholarship which you need a 3.8gpa and 1320 (math, eng.) SAT. Then you will qualify for $19,500/year. If you are a female the odds aren't so great (70% fem/30% male). Campus is a nice size with about 5000 undergrads. If you can afford this school and love the city this one is a keeper!

Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:

Queen Anne Hotel - Very charming old hotel but very comfortable and reasonably priced.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Parking is a big problem so don't bring a car. Great municipal trans. offered.
