Caltrain is a commuter rail service that operates in San Francisco (4th and King), through San Mateo County and down to Santa Clara County (Gilroy). Started in 1987, and powered by diesel (though in the process of electrification). There is also a Baby Bullet service which stops at limited stations to cut down commute time. It has transfer stations at 4th and King to Muni (also conveniently located next to Telephone Park), Millbrae to BART (also to SFO), Mountain View to VTA, Santa Clara to Amtrak, and San Jose Diridon to ACE and Amtrak.
New projects include: the underground extension from downtown San Francisco to the future Transbay Terminal, Dumbarton Bridge rail to the East Bay, and a proposed extension to Monterey County.

A small suburban town, located in San Mateo County, pop around 20,000. It is left of SFO airport and a few miles south of San Francisco. It is the last stop on BART in the SF Bay Area peninsula. The downtown area is located on Broadway and stretches to El Camino Real. The houses and residential area are all located in the hills or on the smaller east side of El Camino Real. It used to be a quiet old folks city and had a bowling alley and a movie theater, which were torn down long ago. Now it is becoming more commercialized with new stores ie Trader Joe's, Peet's Coffee, Quickly's (where all the high school kids used to go afterschool), and of course In-n-out. The schools are Mills High School, Taylor Middle School, and a whole lot of elementary schools. Education is top-notch here, even though our highschool looks like a factory.
Crime is low, but it happens here and there. But mostly it's just surburban wannabe gangstas driving around in their civic rice rockets or redneck pickup trucks. It's basically the Asian version of Whiter Burlingame which lies south. To the north is San Bruno which is comprised more of Hispanics. Since African Americans are hard to find here, the Somoans and Tongans are usually all on the football team.
Non-locals usually don't know what or where Millbrae is, but it is my hometown, and it is ideal if you want to live in a quiet town near The City.

Me: I'm from Millbrae.
Non-local: Where?
Me: Mill-brae.
Non-local: Huh?
Me: ... San Francisco.
Non-local: OOOHHHHH.

aka San Jose State or SJSU
The oldest public university in California and founding campus of the California State University system. It is located in downtown San Jose, obviously. Colors are blue and gold and their mascot is the Spartan. The student population has a lot of Latino and Asian (mostly Flips and Viets) enrollments. Their engineering program is well known if you want to get hookups to neighboring tech companies in the Silicon Valley.
A known landmark would be the bell tower, which is electronically wired to sound hourly. There is also a new housing complex called the Campus Village which costed about 200 million to replace the older residence halls. Another landmark is the MLK Jr library which is probably the most appealing building on campus.
On the last note, parking costs are killer. Be prepared to empty your wallets if you commute.

A community college in Cupertino, California established in 1967 with affiliations with Foothill College. Unofficially, the "Harvard" of all community colleges because of the rate students transfer to UCs or CSUs. Lots of international students, FOBs, and hot girls. It has the Flint Center and its own Planetarium and is currently a smoke-free campus. Overall, it's a pretty chill school.
Two notorious incidents happened here, first one being an averted columbine-style shooting by a student named Al DeGuzman who was caught when he tried to print out pictures of himself with his guns, at Longs Drugs. The second incident is the protest against Colin Powell, where protestors were being beaten by riot police.

Foothill Student: Foothill College is better than De Anza College!
De Anza Student: Your face!
