Is it possible to visit two universities in one day: Stanford and Berkeley?

My dad is a speed devil, he thinks we can enjoy and look into both universities in one day, i'd like to visit the Botanical Gardens and **** though.





Berkeley tour- 10:00 A.M.


Stanford tour- 3:15 P.M.





can we pull it off and still enjoy the schools?

Whew. Yes, you could look at them in that amount of time. Just a look.





It'll take over an hour to get to Stanford from Berkeley. Factor in traffic, parking and walk times.





I'd say that's a no on botanical gardens.
Reply:Without knowing how long your planned tours will last, it is difficult to give specific advice. University gardens and museums typically close at around 5 PM. So, you might not get to see much of Stanford if you're arriving late in the afternoon.





If you're driving, you'll have to leave Berkeley at 2 PM at the latest (and pray for good traffic on the 101).





Allow some extra time to find parking.

Public transportation will take even longer. You want to leave Berkeley no later than 1:15 PM. And by "leave," I mean you should be on the train at that time.





It'll take 57 minutes on BART to get from Berkeley to Millbrae. And then you'll transfer to Caltrain for an additional 30 minutes to Palo Alto (Stanford). Factoring in the time spent on transfers, it should take a little under two hours.

Reply:Tell the speed demon to take Hwy 280 to Stanford. 101 is a parking lot.
Reply:Probably, you could spend days at each though just to let you know, and they're only about 30 miles apart. (Personally, I prefer the Tree at Stanford.)
Reply:there will be traffic crossing the bridge so you, you probably won't make it.
