I'm guessing the best area to stay is San Fransisco, is that right? Or is Palo Alto better? I haven't been to the Bay Area in years, so I'm really not sure which area of either place would be best, any suggestions.
From San Fransisco, what's the best way to get to Palo Alto, is there good public transportation, or should I rent a car? If anybody else is going to be around, and is interested in exploring, drop me a line, we can probably figure something out.
- jlees 16y agoThere is a public train service (Caltrain) that runs from San Francisco downtown (4th and King) to the Stanford campus (Palo Alto station). Renting a car is advisable if you're going to spend any significant time in the Bay Area but if you mostly plan to go to SS and then hop around SF, public transportation should be fine. If you're entirely here for SS, staying in Palo Alto is probably the wiser choice but there are more options in SF.
- evo_9 16y agoTry to stay in Palo Alto - the commute from the city is long enough (45-60m) to make it worth it. Plus Palo Alto is awesome (but pricy).
- kroger 16y agoOr you can stay in nearby cities like Menlo Park or Redwood City. I used to live in Menlo Park and I went to Palo Alto all the time. You may want to get a bike, though ;-)
