Living @ Bowes Testimonials

Nico Colucci.

Nico Colucci, 26', (RJAM Saxophone) 
“The best thing about living at Bowes, other than unlimited late-night practice, is definitely the hang-outs. I’ve got to spend so much time hanging out and meeting new people because I live at Bowes! I was worried about being roommates with total strangers, but I’m so glad I ended up living on campus. I would’ve missed so much bonding time and definitely wouldn’t have as many developed friendships.”

Jayla Hernandez, ‘24, (RJAM Drums)
“Living in Bowes gives a sense of community and so much love. Bowes brings so much creativity through and around each space. Seeing so many other students who are like me living in one huge space and that all our talents can be shared in one space is a blessing. The ability to have unlimited practice sessions, to be able to connect with students who may know TAC [Technology and Applied Composition] and make a record. Also, just sitting in the common areas and having a coffee to relax and chat with friends I think is one of the greatest assets of Bowes. There are so many possibilities."

Miriam Tayler, ‘26, (Piano)
“The Bowes Center gives me a cozy place to go where I can spend time during my busy days with school. I was shocked when I went into Bowes for the first time, and I found out that I have the opportunity to practice on amazing Steinway pianos! I have never had such a great opportunity like that! The Bowes Center is a place where I found new friends from different parts of the whole world. I am really happy to be surrounded by the best people!

Diego De La Cruz Iwadare, ‘25, (Violin)
“As a musician, I find that being in a place surrounded by art inspires me and energizes me to focus on my music and my instrument. Living in the Bowes Center is precisely that. Practice rooms 24/7, living with all your friends, school two blocks away, striking halls and common spaces. Personally, beyond being a great building, the Bowes Center is an experience that has given me an amazing school year.”

Taylor See, ‘23, (Voice)
“One of the best things about living at Bowes is that you are so connected with a large chunk of the student body. It is so nice to be able to go downstairs to the first floor and engage with other students at any given time. Living at Bowes, you also have access to lots of practice rooms that are open 24/7! It is also so great to be within a five-minute walk to the Ann Getty Center. The convenience and accessibility of living at Bowes is unmatchable!”

Haejin Lee, Harp, ‘24 (Harp) 
"As a harpist (which is not easy to move around!) during rainy days in SF or at night when I come back late from work, it is so convenient and great for me to have an accessible harp at the Bowes Center that can be flexible to my time. Also having 24/7 practice rooms available anytime for use. I'm really able to feel comfortable with keeping my workflow schedule and practice schedule balanced together. Having also the Student Academic Enrichment Center (SAEC) office on the 3rd floor has been so helpful for me as a student here. Dr. Joaquin is always there to help and guide students to succeed in classes here at SFCM. I am able to grow tremendously as a student from the help and guidance from the SAEC center."
