KP33: Oakland is more of a neighborhood with blocks and buildings rather than a city, per se.

I live right outside of DC and I would never compare Pitts campus to GW or American, say, but it isn’t completed secluded either, the way other schools may be (UVA or Georgia Tech for example). Yes there are blocks and lights that you have to use to walk to your classes but you’re not in the middle of downtown where walking alone at night is a bad thing and all you hear is honking cars from your dorm window (now construction work in the middle of the night during finals week…)…anyways to answer your question, downtown via bus during a not so busy time is about 10-15 minutes id say, with traffic its about 25-30. not too far, but definitely not really far away either.
