Public Transportation:

There are numerous bus stops right outside our building including a bus that goes to San Francisco.  BART is in downtown Berkeley, less than a 10 minute walk away.  And this is a very bike friendly town and area.  There are not very many hills and the cars are generally respectful of cyclists.

UC Berkeley is of course just minutes away by foot, the North Side of campus being slightly closer.
