Activities & Services
Here are some of the activities and services offered at the University of San Francisco.
Conversation Partner Program
Register for the Conversation Partner Program during the fall and spring semesters. Each AEM student who wants to participate is matched with a native English speaker who is a USF student, staff member, or faculty member. Conversation partners meet regularly throughout the semester, approximately once a week, and talk about anything they want. The Conversation Partner program offers AEM students and native English speakers the opportunity to learn about each other's countries and cultures. AEM students can practice their English communication skills and learn about U.S. culture and college life. Native speakers of English can learn about another country, another culture, and perhaps practice their foreign language skills.
USF Facilities and On-campus Events
AEM students have use of all USF facilities such as the Gleeson Library, computer labs, and on-campus events. Students receive a USF identification card which allows them to check out books in the library and use other campus facilities. Students can attend lectures, sporting events, movies, performances and other events held on campus. If there is a charge, students receive a discount.
