<p>for those who have actually traveled by train to ucsd, how long do you guys think the train and bus ride will take? im about to order my ticket and i am unsure which time to choose so i can make it to ucsd on time at 8:30 for orientation.</p>
<p>i can't really help you on this but where are you coming from? @_@</p>
<p>i'll be coming from Union Station in LA. probably should have specified that.. haha. i have some other questions too,</p>
<ol>
<li>Anyone have information on how to get from Solana Beach to UCSD (like bus stops and schedules)</li>
<li>What time does orientation usually end? I have to order my return trip ticket also.</li>
</ol>
<p>oh im also looking at the train schedules and it says that a trip should take a little more than 2 hours so if anyone knows how long the bus ride would be to UCSD from solana beach, that would be helpful.</p>
<p>It'll take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes to get from Solana Beach to UCSD, depending on traffic. It might cost money too, so be prepared.</p>
<p>you can buy the train ticket at the station itself. you don't necessarily have to buy it in advance (unless it's during thanksgiving weekend...)</p>
<p>oh ok, that makes it much easier. thanks for the responses.</p>
