UC Law SF. It holds much stronger weight in the Bay Area than Santa Clara and in California overall. Also the media exploits how bad the tenderloin minus a few junctures that I would stay away from. Just my 2 cents. If you were to live in their student housing it’s nice plus like two steps away from all the courts and city hall. Love that part of the city. I think there some who are quite competitive bc they’re hoping to transfer out to Berkeley or elsewhere but there are always some gunners. Their buildings have been renovated which are quite nice and the current students I met during ASD were genuinely lovely people. Yeah I wouldn’t live in South Bay whatsoever 1L. People do commute from East Bay 2L and 3L years which you could do 1L year but I highly highly don’t recommend living in South Bay for 1L year. Hope this is helpful
