[medhopeful08]

Does anyone know if the Stanford campus is closer to SFO or San Jose Airport?

Thanks!

SFO...CalTrain+BART can take you right to the campus.

thanks pikayou!

they're both about the same distance...most local people take sjc, people from further out take sfo. sjc has a shuttle that takes you straight to the caltrain station. hope this helps.

one more thing. if you take the caltrain to the stanford/palo alto station...take stanford's free bus shuttle to get to campus. it's called the marguerite.

When I attended Stanford, I preferred flying in and out of SJC. It was much easier. But I did have a car...

Take San Jose airport.

thanks everyone for the responses.

on a related note, does stanford offer student hosting? if not, where did y'all stay?

 

[gramcracker]

Yeah, we have student housing. Just email the admissions folks and they can give you the list of everyone that's offered to host students.

There's also the SLAC guest house, which is pretty close, and nice, I hear. Hotels in PA are generally fairly expensive, I hear.

I have been to Stanford a few times to compete in track and each time our team flew to San Jose. I believe San Jose is a little faster and the traffic seemed to be a little less then when we drove from San Fransisco to Stanford. San Jose is usually cheaper to fly into than San Fransisco is.
