请教美国商学院的地理位置

First of all, in western US or California, places are very scattered. Big cities like LA and SF have their own downtown, usually finanial district where a few banks, law firms reside. However most business are in the so-called metropolitan area. For example, in SF Bay Area, other than San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale and so on, all have headquarters of big firms. From downtown San Francisco (Wells Fargo Bank) to San Jose (Cisco) is about 50 miles, but they both belong to a big metropolitan area (SF Bay Area), and there is no gap between cities.

Stanford is in Palo Alto, about 35 miles south of San Francisco. Company headquarters include HP and Wilson Sonsini (premier law firm for tech IPO) and many VCs. Palo Alto is a small town, very nice place, though the housing is very expensive. Nearby city include Mountain View (Google), Sunnyvale (Yahoo), Cupertino (Apple) and Redwood Shore (Oracle) ...

UC Berkeley is in Berkeley, about 15 miles east of San Francisco, across the Bay. You can drive through Bay Bridge or take BART to the city. Nearby city is Oakland. The view from the Berkeley is quite good, it's built on the hills, and facing the Bay.

There are three big airports in the area: San Francisco International (SFO), Oakland International (OAK) and San Jose International (SJC). SFO is the premier airport where you can travel to anywhere in the world. OAK and SJC are alternatives to fly domestic.
