<p>isn't plane the easiest for ppl in the bay area? that's what i plan to do and then i'll take the shuttle down to campus i think. OR if i have time, i'd take the train to LA and somehow get to SD. i heard it's beautiful and worth the $100 extra than plan. you get to see the ocean the whole time so i hear=D</p>
<p>UCLAri - you're dragging a uhaul!?! How big of a uhaul? I'm amazed at this.</p>
<p>I hate how airline tickets from SFO or SJC to LAX is like 68, but to San Diego it's 200ish. AHHH.</p>
<p>fly! </p>
<p>it's like 60 bucks one way on southwest. from the bay area, anyway.</p>
<p>I live in LA and will rely on amtrak...anyone in a similar situation?</p>
<p>I'm going to be doing a mix of driving and taking the Amtrak. I live in Los Angeles county, so it's only an 80-90 minute drive most days with fair traffic, so it's not too bad. Sometimes, however, I won't feel like driving and will just take the train back home or to visit friends in UCLA / UCI.</p>
<p>Definitely by plane cuz i live overseas =D</p>
<p>im gonna use amtrak too.</p>
<p>Thought I’d revitalize this thread. I’m curious about rail travel to UCSD.</p>
<p>For students coming from Central California, it sounds like Amtrak to Oceanside, then the bus is the best/fastest way to UCSD.</p>
<p>comments?</p>
<p>coquimom,</p>
<p>That’s about right. The bus from Oceanside was free in my days, and also pretty fast.</p>
<p>Wooo just made plans to visit UCSD 
on admit day gonna spend the weekend with a friend of mine, anyways i plan on going from central cali to solano beach station, pretty excited to talk to my friend’s roommates because they have my major!</p>
<p>I live right by Newport Beach, so it isn’t that far of a drive…maybe 45minutes? I plan on driving and keeping my car on campus!</p>
<p>I’m flying down (it’s a 10 hour drive otherwise…) and I won’t have my car Freshman year. I like how the original posters have all graduated (unless they’re super seniors) and now we’re reviving this thread :p</p>
<p>Hahaha that’s hilarious. Lets revive it bahaha</p>
<p>by car and train. :)</p>
<p>Flying down there for visits home and breaks.
My parents are lugging all my stuff and me by car to move in. </p>
<p>I wish I didn’t live 10 hours away either :(</p>
