About Stanford University

Stanford University is recognized as one of the world’s leading research and teaching institutions. Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley on 8200 beautiful tree-lined acres, Stanford is as much a retreat as it is a world-class university. The historic Main Quad, with its picturesque sandstone buildings, and the rolling foothills provide a gorgeous backdrop for all the intellectual activity on campus. From the top of Hoover Tower, visitors can enjoy panoramic view of the Stanford campus and the surrounding Bay Area. Charming downtown Palo Alto, with a multitude of shopping and dining options, is also a great place for visiting families to spend time together.
