Stanford university.
Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions.
Leland and Jane Stanford founded the University to "promote the public welfare by exercising an influence on behalf of humanity and civilization." Stanford opened its doors in 1891, and more than a century later, it remains dedicated to finding solutions to the great challenges of the day and to preparing our students for leadership in today's complex world.

Visitor Comments
"I was completely taken by the campus. I love how the campus is away from the big city and has a kind of home town feel to it. The Roman-style buildings were gorgeous. The tour guide was wonderful and full of energy. The whole experience was wonderful! "
"I just wanted to say that "Discover Stanford" was one of the most successful college visiting programs that I've been to on since I started visiting colleges, and I mean that honestly."
"Our session with your admission officer was phenomenal. She was very engaging and charismatic. Her approach was very effective and different from other college tours we have experienced. I thoroughly believe she loves her job and uses her experience when she attended Stanford to those attending today and applying now."
