<p>I know housing is guaranteed for the first 2 years, but after that apartments around the area are a bit expensive. How far away do you think it would be okay to commute from? My aunt lives in Fremont and I may consider staying with her and taking BART.</p>
<p>Expensive? They’re drastically cheaper than living in the dorms…</p>
<p>do what works for you. the fremont bart is only 45 minutes, and runs until really late, so it’s really not so bad. in the regular semester, at least 5 cal students commute from fremont when I took it in the morning. in the summer, there are more.</p>
<p>yea… it’s a lot cheaper. but</p>
<p>If your finances are tight, you can have that as a resort. Plus, you wouldn’t have to pay to live at you aunt’s house, right? But you’ll be losing things especially in the social realm, losing time by riding on the BART, etc.</p>
