Thanks RD and gogetter08.
Do you know hows the walk from the closest parking garage (2450 Durant Ave) to Haas? Google says its half a mile, and since I am planning to rent a car, I think I'll just walk from the garage to the school (unless there is a bus connecting the 2). Need to fly back thursday afternoon (real tight schedule) so having a car will help getting back to the Aport on time. Thanks.
The walk from the parking garage is definitely doable (I carried my laptop bag around for miles in Berkeley and Boston
). I would honestly recommend that you skip the rental car though. BART from SFO to Downtown Berkeley is super easy and costs about $18 round-trip. I think total travel time is about 1hr each way, which isn't great, but you don't have the unknown delay of traffic.
Just don't do what my wife and I did. Get on the wrong train back from UC Berkeley and headed into Oakland instead of SF, lol. At the exact moment we realized we were headed the wrong direction, Police K9 patrol passed through our car. At the next station, we got off and saw 4 more officers walking around. I guess it is the marijuana capital of the U.S.
