Where are
the closest shuttle bus (aka, the Marguerite) stops?
The closest A-Line (Cal Avenue, Shopping Center, Escondido Village, Medical
Center) stops are in Escondido Village, on the road across from the fire
station, and at the Serra Street Complex. The nearest B-Line Stops are
at the corner of Escondido Road and Campus Drive and the corner of Bowdoin
Street and Campus Drive. You can get schedules on any of the shuttles,
at Tressider, or at the Transportation
Programs Office.
Where can I get a bike?
Do I need to register it?
Check out the Shopping Pages for a list of
the closest bike shops.
Yes, please register it...it's your only chance of getting it back if
it is stolen, and we have bike theft epidemics at the beginnings and endings
of quarters, when people get careless. Go to the Transportation Programs
Office at 655 Serra or visit them on the web here.
Where can I get my car
registered?
The closest branch of the California
Department of Motor Vehicles is at 595 Showers Drive in Mountain View,
which is about 1 block south of the intersection of El Camino and San
Antonio Shopping Center. Make your life easier and call for an appointment
or sign up for one on-line.
Where can I
buy things for my apartment?
There is a list of local shopping areas and the sorts of stores in them
on our Shopping at Stanford Page.
Where can I buy food?
We know that grad students get grouchy when they're not well fed. See
the Shopping at Stanford Page.
Where can I get a
course guide and time schedule?
Bring your student ID to Old Union; there will be a table set up outside
where you can get a Time Schedule in which the times and locations of
your classes will be listed, and a Course Guide, a huge tome of departmental
requirements and courses offered. You can also see a list of Autumn Quarter
courses on the web if you go to axess.
Where do I get my
ID card?
Go to the ID Office, Room 140A in Old Union, between the hours of 8 a.m.
and 5 p.m. to pick up your ID. Often the ID Office will have a table set
up on the ground floor of Old Union to distribute IDs to those people
who sent in their photos in advance, so follow the signs. You can also
pick up your ID at the office on the weekend of September 19 and 20, though
you will be keeping company with hordes of frosh -- the weekend hours
are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Questions? Call the ID office at 728-CARD.
