From CSU East Bay students can reach San Francisco, Berkeley, or Silicon Valley within 30-45 minutes. Cal State East Bay has a diverse student population of 13,000 students, with approximately 1100 international students. While most students commute to campus, approximately 1200 students live in on-campus housing, and many more in nearby apartment complexes.

Campus Location - Campus is located on a large hill overlooking Hayward and the San Francisco Bay Area. Buses link campus to downtown Hayward where students can use BART to travel to further Bay Area destinations.
