What our students said about San Francisco
With no other city do I have such a deep and everlasting connection. The city and everything that goes with it is an absolute blast if you can afford the increased prices, if you can deal with poverty, drugs, homeless people and rubbish, and if you can accept the local transport runs on practically no timetable.

I can only recommend it at the moment, although there is a big problem about a far too high payment in a friend's booking, where it is still unclear right now which party (school or residence) is asking for this unannounced extra payment.
