Yeah, that sucks. Even living near the Caltrain (in the south bay) would have been okay (1 hour to get to SF, which is not that bad).

SF is quite expensive. Another option for the future is to live in the East Bay (Oakland or Berkeley), near a BART station.

I see now that you listed Android under your "Interests," which is okay, but it will lead many employers to think you actually have experience with Android. If you want to get into Android development, the burden is on you to teach yourself the basics and get an app into the Play store. Doing this will greatly improve your chances of getting an internship with Android dev. Most startups are not actually interested in teaching intern on the job. Most startups use internships as an extended interview.
