Foothill College is located 40 miles south of San Francisco and 15 miles north of San Jose in the safe community of Los Altos Hills. It is in the heart of the Silicon Valley and offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities and cultural attractions. The multiethnic mix in the San Francisco Bay Area blends many heritages - Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, African, and European. Major Silicon Valley technology corporations have established headquarters near campus and benefit from outstanding educational opportunities at Foothill College.
The Campus is located on 122 acres. The American Institute of Architects has twice honored Foothill for its outstanding design, and the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper called it "the most beautiful community college ever built."The varied geography and climates of Northern California invite residents to enjoy both ocean and mountain sports within easy driving distance. Mild temperatures in the western foothills surrounding campus provide a pleasant year-round climate.
Our valley is served by inexpensive bus, train, and light rail public transportation systems, and two bus lines that directly enter Foothill campus. Newly improved freeways link all parts of the valley with San Francisco and San Jose.In 2004, San Jose was again named the safest big city in the U.S. (of all cities with populations of more than 500,000). This is the 4th year in a row that San Jose has held this distinction.
