My favorite thing about the Bay Area is the variety. There are so many different types of people here and different types of foods as well… you can never be bored. – Dezáray Lowery, Class of 2011

Besides SFFS? :) It’s a city of mild weather and natural beauty. A city that is rich in arts and culture, with outstanding culinary eats and breathtaking architecture. What’s not to love? – Ivy Tom, Current & Alumni Parent

I live in the East Bay and having East Bay regional park so close and accessible is amazing. I have two large dogs and the off-leash areas of which there are many save me from crazy dog syndrome in the house!

I love the diversity, the weather, the history… Bottom line, now more than ever: I LOVE my San Francisco bubble.

– Aggie Gettys, Current Parent

I love our cozy neighborhood, where lots of mini-festivals have sprung up during COVID-19 to keep neighbors feeling connected. And I love our easy access to beautiful parks and beaches. We are lucky! – Jenny Johnston, Current Parent

I can’t possibly pick just one thing that I love most. However, I love taking the ferry to work and enjoying the beautiful Bay view!

The beauty of the landscape. I feel so lucky to live so close to so much natural beauty here in the Bay Area.
