Who are Metro students?
Metro at SF State
Metro students come from diverse communities and are often the first in their families to attend college. In fact, 95% are either low-income, first-generation college-going, or underrepresented students. 47% of all SF State first-year students enter needing remediation in math and/or English, compared to 76% of Metro students. Despite this disadvantage at the starting line, Metro students outperform their peers in persistence and graduation.
