I live in Albany. I am about 2 miles from school. It is a short, 10-minute bus ride or I have my girlfriend drop me off. I sometimes walk there and it takes 40 minutes.

It is incredibly quiet up here. I like it because I am an older student, I live with my girlfriend, and like being away from the college lifestyle. There are many students who live in my building, or near me. But there are mostly old people and older adults/families in Albany.

If you want to get away from the bustle of Berkeley and crave some peace and quiet, Albany/North Berkeley along Shattuck and Solano are a good fit. If you still want to be close to campus, the North Side is far less wild than the south side/Telegraph area. But still close to campus.
