  Location
Marin County is recognized for having incredible scenery. From the mixed evergreen forest to the Coast Redwood Forests, there is plenty of exploring for students. Regarding tourist hotspots, Marin County is close to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Fresh seafood such as BBQ oysters are available for students to diversify their palette, while low-cost drinks can be found at the quirky Papermill Creek Saloon. There are numerous sandy beaches in Marin County, with souvenir shops to send back home. Students who enjoy the outdoors have fun kayaking in areas like Tomales Bay or at Alamere Falls.
  Student Life
Student life is cohesive and fun at the College of Marin. The variety of student clubs ranges from students for social justice to the entrepreneurs’ club, with plenty of opportunities to attend events or start their student club. Student services help international students settle in, offering health services, job search strategies, etc. The events schedule can be viewed on the College of Marin website for students to choose their preferred activity. The College of Marin Science Museum is situated in close proximity to the academic buildings so students can uncover the natural world of Marin. The athletics teams at the University allow students to participate in group sports or cheer from the sidelines to reinforce the community feel that is actively encouraged on campus.

The College of Marin does not offer on-campus accommodation. The University website provides helpful information on the many apartments and condominiums situated nearby to the campus. Many international students find a home with a trusted local family via the homestay program. This arrangement allows students to practice their English language skills and become accustomed to regional traditions. Some students opt to rent homes in the nearby areas with friends and to ingratiate themselves in the community.
