Good reviews
Overall 4.1
Good location for being in the heart of San Francisco and for getting to job opportunities. Safety is what it is for being in an urban area with a lot of homeless people. Its got a BART station at the front door. It also has a culinary department, and a good on site restaurant. Students are friendly, but busy. Teachers are mostly good.
