A World-Class City Nearby

At Saint Mary's you’ll definitely see your peers at the dining hall and on the quad, but you never know — you might run into your classmates at Giants games, farmers’ markets, or Mission District art galleries. Jump in a car (or on the BART) and in half an hour you’ll be exploring San Francisco. Suddenly Saint Mary's doesn’t seem so small.

And It's More Than Just San Francisco

Just as there’s more to Saint Mary's than Moraga, there’s more to the Bay Area than San Francisco. Just on the other side of the Caldecott Tunnel are Oakland and Berkeley, where you’ll find fantastic parks, restaurants, shops, and cultural experiences.

As you finish each activity you can get a stamp on your “Beyond Saint Mary’s” card (available in the Student Involvement and Leadership office) by providing a receipt, ticket stub, or photo as proof of your participation.
