Looking into travel between various CA schools to Newark, NJ. Direct flights preferred (Newark is notorious for delayed flights) which rules out San Jose. Santa Clara’s website mentions BART as a way to get to San Francisco airport. Can anyone fill me in on BART-ease of use from SCU, travel time, etc?

Also looks like LAX and John Wayne airport have direct flights to Newark, but not San Diego.

D2 is a Jr. starting to investigate schools and is intent on warm weather (limits the pool). She’s reading up on Santa Clara. Looking for min 5K student body (although 10K-25K ideal) with easy going, down-to-earth kids. School spirit and active campus life that’s not dominated by Greek life. Undecided major. Fit over rankings. Any other suggestions welcome!
