FlashMob Directions

FlashMob I will be held at the University of San Francisco's Koret Gym; corner of Turk and Parker in San Francisco.

Warning: We STRONGLY recommend that you take public transportation to FlashMob I--we have free, but extremely limited parking on the lower level of the parking structure at the corner of Parker and Turk (entrance on Turk). It is very hard to find street parking close to the campus.

Warning: Visitors often confuse the many universities in San Francisco. We are USF (University of San Francisco). USF is not UCSF (University of CA at SF) on the hill on the South side of Golden Gate park and USF is not SFSU (SF State University) near Stonestown Mall.

Computer Dropoff

It may be difficult or impossible to drive up to the main entrance to the Koret Center. So if you are bringing a desktop or several laptops, you can drop your computer(s) off at the corner of Parker and Golden Gate (see the campus map below). We will have staff posted there who will watch your equipment while you park. They will also have carts and they can help you get your computer(s) into the Koret Center.

Public Transportation

USF is accessible by taking any of the following Muni buses: 5 Fulton, 21 Hayes, 31 Balboa, 38 Geary, 43 Masonic. For bus schedules and more information, please check the San Francisco Municipal Railway Website. See the detailed map of the Muni system.

If you are traveling from the south bay or east bay, you can reach the campus via Cal Train, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), San Mateo Transit, AC Transit, County Connection and Muni. If you are traveling from Marin County, you can get to USF via Golden Gate Transit or the Golden Gate Ferry.

When planning your trip to campus, check out the trip planner. For more information on public transportation in the Bay Area, please check here.
