Stanford University
The Nation’s Premier University
The world all at once: Limitless possibilities are at the heart of Stanford University.
Global positioning systems and gene splicing, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and The Grapes of
Wrath, the football huddle and the T-formation, Yahoo! and Google—all bear the mark of a Stanford
individual. At Stanford, you will find the entire universe of what humankind knows and is endeavoring
to know. From your first days on campus, this universe will be yours to explore, yours to discover.
Stanford will ask that intellectual curiosity be your compass, that excellence be your true north.
Along the way, you will have the guidance of extraordinary faculty mentors who are at the forefront of
advancing the world’s understanding of subjects ranging from geophysics to history to bioscience to
musical composition. You will also have the friendship of fellow students who will awe and inspire you
as much for their humanity as for their talents. As you pursue the questions that interest you most,
your mentors and friends will give you the freedom to risk temporary failure as you push yourself both
intellectually and personally—along with the freedom and encouragement to pursue what you love.
Your reward will be the exhilaration of discovery—the exhilaration of true excellence.

Beyond Campus
San Francisco Bay Area
From bustling cosmopolitan cities to quiet coastal
retreats, the San Francisco Bay Area is
incomparable. First-class attractions, worldclass athletics, cultural diversity, remarkable
skylines and breathtaking views make this the
region one of the world’s most popular destinations.
The Golden Gate Bridge
Stanford’s campus is located less than an hour’s drive from
San Francisco to the north, just minutes from the Silicon
Valley to the south and within easy reach of the breathtaking
coastal cities that line the Pacific Ocean to the west.
San Francisco has been named by Conde Nast Traveler magazine as the
No. 1 travel destination in the United State for 15 years in a row.
Surrounded on three sides by the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay,
San Francisco is located on a hilly peninsula, occupying just 47 square
miles of land. It is the center of the San Francisco Bay Area—the nation’s
fifth largest metropolitan area with a population of more than 7.0
million—and host to an estimated 16 million visitors each year.
South of the Stanford campus are the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara,
the anchors to the Silicon Valley. Computer firms and software companies
can be found throughout the region, which is considered the leader
among the world’s technology industry.
Yosemite National Park
One of the world’s greatest stretches of coastline is located within a short
drive from Stanford. To the south is the Monterey Peninsula, which
includes the picturesque towns of Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. The
Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and 17-Mile Drive along Pebble
Beach are musts for visitors.
Further north and east of Marin County is the home to the Napa Wine
Country and within a few hours drive from the Bay Area is Lake Tahoe,
home to some of the finest skiing in the country and the wonders of
Yosemite National Park.
The Bay Area is also home to six major professional sports franchises,
including the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco
Giants, Oakland A’s, San Jose Sharks and Golden State Warriors.
