This August, UC College of the Law completed the second phase of its Academic Village with 656 units of new student housing in downtown San Francisco. What’s unique is that

students residing in the Village attend classes at graduate and professional schools from across San Francisco and beyond: UC Law SF, UCSF, SF State, USF and University of the Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry. The facility also houses students from UC Berkeley and UC Davis, the Davis students enrolled in a graduate-level San Francisco based data analytics program.

Students can also bring their pets who will enjoy on campus pet amenities and a dog park across the street in UN Plaza – which is also reinventing itself to have a more campus-like vibe. The City’s Recreation and Parks Department is currently installing outdoor fitness equipment, ping pong tables and daily recreation classes. Nearby SF Conservatory of Music recently added 100 student apartments next to City Hall; and the French American School has expansion plans too.

Tourists are taking time out of their crammed sight-seeing schedules to drop in. Still to open in the same building alongside IKEA are a co-working space called Hej!Workshop and a large food hall called Saluhall - both are slated to open in the coming months and will likely be a draw for students and travelers alike.
