The Berkeley Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station is 2 blocks from the university. The fare from San Francisco is less than $4. Call tel. 511 or visit the Bay Area Rapid Transit website for trip info, or fares, or to download trip planners to your iPod, mobile phone, or PDA.

If you are coming by car from San Francisco, take the Bay Bridge (go during the evening commute, and you'll think Los Angeles traffic is a breeze). Follow I-80 east to the University Avenue exit, and follow University until you hit the campus. Parking is tight, so either leave your car at the Sather Gate parking lot at Telegraph Avenue and Durant Street, or expect to fight for a spot.
