Absolutely beautiful campus!! They also have a free bus system that goes around the campus during the week. It's limited on the weekends. It is a rather large campus as well. I did so much walking and was tired. And I walk a lot! haha. Glad I got to visit my nephew here! read more

Visiting Stafford University for my sister-in-law's PhD graduation over at Maple Pavilion was nice. The only thing was the lack of organization of parking as it was a madhouse. However, once inside the pavilion very organized and what a spectacle a lot of brain power, but also very proud. The campus itself is remarkable, and if you haven't gone on it, take a look at one of the best universities in the world. read more

Our experience is not academic but just a visit to the campus. A visit to the bay area means a stop here, even if it's fleeting. I love to take a stroll here admire the buildings, the church, the corridors. There is a huge track and field ground. Our visit to bay area is never complete without making a stop here, especially in the evenings when the weather is cool. You can sign up for a guided walk or just do one by yourself. Either way it's beautiful. There is lot of free parking on site and also a gift shop and cafes. read more

Who knew that stanford has a visitor center? I stumbled upon the famous visitor center and found the stanford alumni magazine free for reviewing here, mini talks, campus tour, designed for aspiring students and visitors. Living the nerdy origami tree. Stanford, while a very competitive school to get into, welcomes students of all walks of life to visit its beautiful vast campus - with much revamp and new buildings in recent years (e.g. the knight centers by Nike founder around GSB). Wish all the students luck. The staff is super nice. Book ahead. read more

A fine institution of higher learning. By all accounts one of the best on the left coast. We come here for the sports. Primarily football. They've always had a competitive team and superior tailgate areas. NIL and the portal have hit the program hard. A fairy recent coaching change in the midst of recruiting was another set back. They've had some goon wins this year (2024) including a win last Saturday over Louisville ranked at 22. The Cardinal beat the Cardinals in a tightly contested game. #FearTheTree read more

We came here for their opening home football game. It was a great game, it was close till half time. Then unfortunately they lost. Fan Fest was fun. It was by on the top of the stadium. They had $5 beers. The line took around 30 minutes to get through. There was only 1 person pouring and there was a lot of foam so they were having a hard time getting everyone a full glass. They did allow you to get two cups at a time. If you got there early you have nothing better to do than to Stand in line. They had a little beer garden surrounding the beer booth. It was a nice place to sit and relax. We sat on the loveseat. It was very comfortable. They had a separate line for food. They had tacos or pulled pork(beef or chicken) sandwiches. Each had their own lines. The lines were short compared to the beer line. It took maybe 5 minuets to get our pulled pork sandwiches and potato salad. It was $15 for the pulled pork sandwich and potato salad or coleslaw. They also had concessions on the lower level. There was no line for concessions. We later had chips and they were freshly made and very good. We sat behind the goal posts. They were great seats in the lower level. Parking was a challenge. The parking attendants were great guiding you to your parking spot. We parked in lot 8. $25 pre sale. The issue was finding your car later. There are no light posts, or any markers like they do at concert venues and Disneyland to find your car. Here you are parked in the middle for a eucalyptus grove. All the lots look the same. Our only saving grace was the find your car app on google maps. With out it we would have lost our car. I wonder how others were able to find their cars. read more

Nerd alert! =P My hubz is a grad alumni from here so of course, I had to get the obligatory campus tour, watch a football game, and be his date for his grad alumni event. All the events I went to were pretty impressive. Our campus tour leader was very knowledgeable, attentive and fun - the campus is huge, clean and vibrant. The football game was entertaining and fun - band was also really good! The alumni event was very well-organized and we got to hear engaging presentations from some of the best professors in their fields (Ge Wang's music tech presentation was awesome!), tour the Bing Concert Hall, and have delicious food and unlimited wine/beer at the happy hour in the alumni center garden patio. I left that event inspired with their mission of not only achieving academic excellence, but also to be good stewards in making the world a better place. It's also mind boggling to think of all of the prestige surrounding this university - highly recommend a visit! read more

The Dr Gary Steinberg at the Moya center misdiagnosed me with Moya Moya, and did a brain surgery on me that was contraindicated. After the surgery, I had a stroke that they failed to diagnose. Dr Steinberg completely hid his head in the sand and didn't want to deal with me. I had to file a complaint with their Patient Services department which in itself is a joke. If you have Moya Moya, please do not havwesurgery at this center. I would recommend Dr Ali Zomorodi at Duke University. He was trained by the world famous, late Dr Fukushima who was the one who diagnosed me correctly and informed me that the surgery was contraindicated. This center doesn't even do an appropriate and thorough workup. They just are trying to get huge surgical numbers for research funding, I believe. Terrible and horrifying experience. read more

Stanford University is, without a doubt, the greatest university in the world. Sprawling over 8,800 acres - each acre worth $5 million - it is also the richest university in the world. Stanford has too many Nobel Laureates, National Academy of Science members and Guggenheim fellows on its faculty even to count, and its graduates top the lists of Rhodes and Danforth scholars, while its freshmen class consists exclusively of National Merit Scholars, champion varsity athletes and class valedictorians. Stanford athletes have won more Olympic gold medals than any other school. Every single Stanford academic department and professional school is ranked in the top three in the world, with most being rated number one. Stanford lies at the heart of Silicon Valley, and its "industrial park" is home to the headquarters of Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Google, Oracle, Cisco, Facebook, X, SpaceX, and innumerable other tech companies. The lushly landscaped campus provides extensive state-of-the-art athletic and recreational facilities, plush dormitories, excellent dormitory food, and parking lots filled with Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Aston Martins, Bugatis, Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Mercedes and BMWs. The handsome male students and gorgeous female students could all model for Vogue or Abercrombie and Fitch. They ALL come from the wealthiest and most prominent families, ALL of which are listed in the Social Register. NEEDLESS to say, Stanford is NOT for just anyone. If you're not wealthy, a genius, a great athlete AND have an extraordinary talent or some other notable accomplishment (such as sailing around the world in a small boat and then writing a New York Times bestseller about it, or rescuing orphans from a burning convent), then DON'T even bother to apply! read more

Beautiful university. Went for my little brother's graduation and it was amazing. Go Michael! Class of 2024!

Fun place to explore, not an easy place to be accepted as a college or grad student. You'll want to check out the old church on campus, which has lots of history and great architectural features. Hoover tower is also excellent for visiting, and walking through the engineering school is also a fun experience. I visited the East Asian library years ago which has one of the best collections of primary sources and secondary sources on the West Coast. During that conference I also met John CY Wang, who inspired a lot of my research and was one of the pioneers in the field of literary theory of China. Rest his soul. read more

So beautiful! We went 4 a college tour, but if ur in the area & just looking 4 a gorgeous scenic stroll, it's still worth the stop. Grounds r immaculate. Amount of green space is surprising given the size of the university. Feel is wonderful, academic, ideal. R favorite campus, tour & info session so far. We realize not many of the kids attending the tour will b admitted & it's ridiculously expensive, but the staff made everyone feel welcome & encouraged. DJ & Patrick led r sessions/tour & were the perfect examples of knowledgeable, humble professionals. We have been to a lot of campus tours & these guys were head & shoulders above the others. Their energy & kindness came through with each attendee. They knew what they were doing & it didn't seem fake or over practiced. I was also pleasantly surprised by how the speakers avoided overused virtue signaling, opting instead for authentic presentation of Stanford in a way that allowed all prospective students to c themselves loving life at the university. read more

Stanford University - Rodin! - Colleges & Universities Near Me - Stanford, California

One of the top universities in the USA. There is a giant open campus with loads of events and a few great free museums. Easy to drive on campus (paid parking). However, if you want an extra special experience it is worth it to bicycle from the Palo Alto Caltrain station. I bicycle every time I visit the university. I love the smell of eucalyptus trees and largess of the classical buildings. There are enough bicycle paths to take advantage of. Be sure to watch out for walkers. A special place to visit is the free Cantor Arts Center and it's neighbor the Rodin Sculpture Garden. Yes, these are actual Rodin statues. Definitely recommended to take advantage of this once in a lifetime experience. Since I always visit the Rodin sculpture garden, I have multiple once in the lifetime experiences. I don't think I'm cool because of it. You might think I'm cool, I don't know. Ha ha! Come to Stanford University and explore it on bike. Check out the museums, sculptures and other events on campus. read more

What a beautiful campus lined with mature trees, gives you a sense of tranquility and just being away from the city. Students and faculty are blessed to be around such a beautiful campus.

I came by for a stroll and looped around campus in this order: - Stanford Oval - Hoover Tower - Stanford Clock Tower - Memorial Church - Rodin Sculpture Garden - Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Center for Visual Arts - Arizona Garden At the time of my visit, the exhibitions were temporarily closed or not open on Mondays, so I only admired the outside. I had a pleasant walk as not many students were around that morning. A beautiful college, but nothing particularly noteworthy to make a special trip just to tour. Free public Wi-Fi is available. For restrooms, I used the ones in the Stanford Student Store. The Stanford Shopping Center is conveniently a short twenty-minute walk from the Stanford Oval too. read more

I remember our first visit Stanford was back in summer 2014 when the plants were fully grown and flowers bloomed, such a beautiful campus! My mom had a friend in her church whos daughter got enrolled for Fall quarter, after that I figured their acceptance rate is above national average. I also found their library was very organized and interesting, with great architectural features. We attended Asian history month inside the library, discovered some of the backgrounds. Overall it was an unforgettable tour among all the universities worldwide. read more

It is a definitely a must see while you are visiting the campus. read more

Like many parents of profoundly gifted children -- when it comes to education -- we have champagne tastes -- but on a beer budget. Material limitations aside -- we remain tireless advocates for our children -- firmly committed in our quest to secure their futures. Recently we took our 17 year old to visit Stanford -- where he breathed the thin air that surrounds brilliance and beauty in northern California -- in the most recent iteration of his pre-collegiate search. Stanford is an ICBM launch pad for the careers of some of America's best and brightest. There is greatness here -- in the Eucalyptus scented landscapes -- where Elon Musk, Tiger Woods, Sergey Brin and John F. Kennedy studied and later transformed our world so definitively and remarkably. Our son aspires to such pedigree -- and while hobbled by long odds of admission and limited funds -- daunting for even the most empowered, self assured and ambitious young minds -- we left here with a sense of cautious optimism -- kismet even. There is something familiar about Stanford and equally hard to pinpoint. There are evanescent whispers in the breeze all around -- and if you listen intently -- you might hear that this place IS NOT reserved exclusively for legacies, or the wealthiest among us, or those with 180 IQ's or even world class athletes. The whispers suggest that even our son can earn his place among the anointed ones with plenty of old school elbow grease, some creative accounting perhaps and yes -- a dose of luck too. Hands down -- one of the most impressive university campus' I've ever visited. Our son agrees. read more

Stopped by the Lathrop East Asia Library to pick up a book from the Livermore stacks and stayed to hang out with my teammates to catch up after being on leave for some many months. The library is beautifully decorated and well placed at the front of the campus. I didn't get past circulation, but the staff was friendly and helpful and patient while I got my ID card sorted out. Everything seems to be ramping up towards graduation here, and I can feel commencement in the air. I kinda miss being here every day, but that makes the periodic visits more special. read more

Stanford University is one of the top universities in the world. This beautiful campus is tucked into the back of Palo Alto among the hills of the San Francisco Peninsula. This is one of the oldest universities in California and has produced many of the best and brightest graduates over the years. The campus is easily accessible by car, but parking and traffic can be difficult. It is close to Caltrain with lots of bus service too. The older parts of campus are the most photogenic. The early designs incorporated a lot of mission style architecture and natural landscaping. There is a large plaza in the center with a classic chapel adorned with lots of beautiful art. During session, the area is packed with students enjoying a sunny break from studying or streaming Netflix. If you are not lucky enough to attend as a student, you can always be a tourist. Many people visit the campus to admire the architecture, attend sports or cultural events, explore the museums, or just walk around to soak up the culture. Fair warning, during session most of the students are rather young and can sometimes be a bit stuck up and spoiled, but that is part of the charm I guess. This is one of the classic California universities dating back over a hundred years which is ancient in the American West! There are a few flaws, but overall this is an amazing campus still preparing students at the highest levels for big things. The campus is also gorgeous so that helps. Fortunately you do not have to bribe anyone to visit! read more

Some of the most beautiful nature is integrated into the campus- my personal favorite season here fall (honestly all the seasons are nice). Don't forget to check out the Hoover tower and of course Memorial church! Try to take a tour- it's free! The schedule is here: https://visit.stanford.edu/tours/ The tourists are mainly concentrated around Palm Drive and the Oval, but it's worth it if you can go at a less busy time (such as early morning). Honestly the ambiance around the evening time is nice too- sometimes people play frisbee on the lawn and there's always students biking or lounging around. There's also a good number of joggers/runners going by the area so it's definitely a family-friendly vibe but keep those children on a close watch in case a bike comes zooming by! Try to budget about 2 hours at least to really appreciate the campus- best enjoyed at a slow, California-paced stroll! read more
