The AZ Guide - Stanford University

The A-Z Guide
Where to Find What You Need!
The GSB Student Life Office has created this guide to assist you with settling in at Stanford. Neither
Stanford University nor the GSB officially endorses the businesses listed; they are merely suggestions
based on convenience, recommendations, and student feedback. This is by no means an exhaustive list
of local businesses, and no business paid for a listing in this guide. If you have comments or feedback
about this list, please email StudentLifeOffice@gsb.stanford.edu.
