Best Place For College

The rank is based on student surveys as well as USF's proximity to entertainment and outdoor activities, San Francisco's percentage of 18- to 24-year-old residents, the city’s weather, and other factors. Academic-review site Niche.com researched the top 100 colleges and universities list and Business Insider published it.

Proud USFers can now back up their University of the #BestCityEver hype, having crowed about the university's one-of-a-kind location for years to friends and family, and on social media.
