<p>I am planning on visiting if i get in in April (i know this is a bit preemptive...) anyway, is the San Francisco airport the nearest? And what is the best way to get from the airport to campus? I would probably go without my parents, so do they offer you the opportunity to stay with a host student if you aren't going on the accepted student time?</p>
<p>use BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) to Palo Alto... then take the Marguerite or whatever the Stanford shuttle is called.</p>
<p>We visited last spring. Here's a helpful Stanford website with info on various public transportation options: Stanford</a> | Visitor Information Services<br>
Scroll down the page to see info. There are links to the Bay Area public transportation options. Using that website we found our flight would be coming in too late to catch the Marguerite. We had never used anything like BART so were not feeling brave about trying to figure it out anyway. We ended up calling the phone number given on the transportation website at Stanford (Parking</a> & Transportation Services at Stanford University) and the person I talked to recommended, given our arrival time, that we take the SuperShuttle from the airport. It seems to me there was some sort of discount because we were going to Stanford and scheduled and paid ahead of time on the SuperShuttle website. It was convenient to use the prepay option.</p>
<p>Do you know when the visitation days for accepted students is scheduled?</p>
<p>Thanks
I don't know exactly when the visitation for accepted students is scheduled (an EA accepted applicant would know) but i think it is in the 3rd week of April sometime. but im really not sure</p>
<p>April 24-27; I think the last activities are on the 26th though.</p>
<p>Thanks for the info!</p>
