| - | * Google map (maps.google.com) could give the actual distance to the U, but if one has the intension to ride a bus, check out the available bus routes to the U at www.metrotransit.org. since there might not be direct line it will take up to 30-40 min (in my case) much more time than it would take driving. | ||
