The liberal city of San Francisco is an attractive and fun city to choose for your English language course. There are many famous places to visit, lots of friendly people and a great range of cuisines on offer.
Why learn English in San Francisco? San Francisco is a great city both to visit and to study abroad in.

There are many attractions too, famous places like Alcatraz and Chinatown and famous sights like the Golden Gate Bridge to enjoy.
San Francisco is on the west coast of the United States in the state of California. The city itself is quite small as it sits on a peninsula which measures only 7 miles by 7 miles (11km by 11km), but this makes a San Francisco English school all the more attractive as a study abroad destination! The population of the city is about 800,000 people, but the San Francisco Bay area has many more, totalling more than 7 million people.
