San Francisco

I Live In L.A, CALI And Have Never Been To San Francisco. Some Of My Friends Are Planning On Going Next Week To Check Out Some Universities Up There. Im Planning On Going As Well Im Just Wondering If Anyone Knows If It Would Be A Risk Going? Do They Check For Any Documents On The Way?

I live in the bay area and have been to LA several times, as far as i know theres no checks if youre driving from LA to Ncal. But there is in San diego.

But im not super informed so yea

yeah i heard that sometimes they do check in san diego on random days as well.

Aww I love SF! I went a couple of weeks ago and they didn't check. At least not from San Jose to San Francisco. But I'm pretty sure they won't check from LA to SF, you're not going anywhere near San Diego so you're good!

You're gonna love it, make sure to go to pier 39, fisherman's wharf, and china town.

I live in LA and went to college up in SF. I did multiple trips back and forth yearly and I never had any problems. This is both driving with people (carpools) and on the greyhound.

thanks for the tips!!! we were wondering where to go and now i can tell my friends =)

There is no immigration check points if you are coming up from LA to San Francisco I have gone several times to LA and back without ever seeing an immigration check point of any sort.

SF is a beautiful city with a lot of culture make sure to visit china town, golden gate bridge, alcatraz (plan ahead since tours can be sold out), and just downtown San Francisco in general.

thanks!! i will be writing these places down!

Don't worry about it. There's no check points or anything.

Also don't forget to check out the Union Square area. It's really nice.

fyi people go there at night to drink and experience altered states of consciousness with the help of certain substances, don't know if you're into that or not.

If you guys are driving I recommend taking HW1 either on your way up or back down to LA. Also, if you are a student, make sure to ask for discounts at museums, and the more touristy attractions, you'll save a few bucks that way.
