Bring a Bike
Stanford is such a large campus that a bike is all but mandatory. It takes about 5 minutes to get from dorm to class on a bike. Plus, once you have a bike you can get to anywhere in Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, or anywhere within a 10-mile radius easily. There is a San Antonio Shopping Center in Mountain View which can be reached by the Marguerite shuttle or by biking.
The public transportation in the Bay Area is quite nice. The Caltrain runs from San Francisco through San Jose down to Gilroy and costs $4.75 from Stanford to SJC. To get to SFO you can take the BART. VTA public buses cost $2 and have hundreds of routes throughout Santa Clara County.
