1. depend on your budget. usually few hundreds (around $500-1000)
i know most of students rent a place outside of school. They usually share the places.
2. it's very easy to get around school.
there are buses, light railroad cars (street car)...
and school shuttle bus from BART(our local subway system) to school (only during school time )
3. it's also depend on you . if you have car, it will be easier to go wherever you want. but parking will be a problem. (sometimes its a big problem)
4. you will fly to San Francisco International Airport (SFO). it's about 30-45mins from school.
有接駁公車可以到學校嗎??? if you mean, a bus service between airport and school...NO.
but you can post at USTSU 機場接送服務 board. i believe someone will pick you up.
