San Francisco State University is one of the nation's leading public urban universities. Promoting respect for scholarship, freedom, and human diversity, the University's faculty and administration encourage students to ignore traditional barriers. Here students can design their own majors, take part in research projects with senior faculty, collaborate with classmates, and learn by helping people solve real-life problems.

SF State is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood in the southwest corner of San Francisco, just minutes away from downtown and the Pacific Ocean. Take a look at our campus map to get oriented.

The address of the main campus is 1600 Holloway Avenue, at 19th Avenue, near the Stonestown Galleria Shopping Center and Lake Merced. SF State is easily accessible by public transportation or private vehicle. Keep in mind that parking lots fill early when the University is in session, so be sure to plan ahead.

When you arrive, stop by Student Outreach Services on the first floor of the Student Services building to pick up a self-guided tour brochure or to ask admissions questions.
