Final comments
I had a hard time studing in one month a four-month course, but it's worthy.
For the airport, The Oakland international airport is nearer than the San Francisco ones, so....
My last advice, if go if you are a non-US citizen, are not 21, do not go because you will not be allowed to get in a pub or buy a beer. So wait until you will be 21.

Personal comments
My accomodation was a confraternity. During the summer there were boys and girls, all attending courses at the UCB. It's been a nice experience and the place was pretty clean, with a room to study, and a room to have fun with Tv and pool.
