Student Experience
Experience the power of community
You belong here. And you'll feel it fast.
From the moment orientation kicks off, you’ll be surrounded by driven, curious people who show up ready to learn and ready to support each other. You’ll bond over late-night brainstorms, celebrate project wins together, and explore every corner of the Bay Area with your cohort.
A built-in network. Your classmates bring big ideas and diverse perspectives. They’ll push you, challenge you and have your back.
Lifelong connections. Faculty and staff don’t stay behind the podium. They’ll know your name, cheer your progress and open doors when it matters.
An experience beyond the classroom. Game nights, city treks, cultural festivals and local eats are always on the calendar. It’s even better when shared.
