Stanford is considered to be one of the most prestigious universities in the United States and the world. I could give you the Wikipedia version here, but I thought it would be better to give you the outlook of a student rather than a historian.

The campus is stunning and the best on the west coast. The architecture is a bit more modern and country club more "elite" than that of an Ivy League campus, but I love the mission style architecture. The buildings are legendary, and Palm Drive is really a sight to itself.

Stanford is considered only second to University of Moscow in terms of the campus size in the whole world. The campus provides for their students conveniently with postal service, a golf course, an excellent selection of restaurants, including the Jamba Juice for all the wheatgrass fanatics, a gas station and a large university store.

If you happen to have a bike lying around, get yourself peddling! I really enjoy biking around the level and smooth it is. However, if you prefer a slower method of going around, you can go for a walk. Strolling around is very refreshing and calming for me, especially if I have a good book tucked under my arm. Just look of for the bikers although I have yet to encounter getting stuck by one.

On a scale of one to ten, Standford University ranks 12 in the academic field. I have been taught by experienced and knowledgeable teachers and mentors. I can honestly say that I cherish my experience in learning new things there. Within the halls of the university, it is truly spectacular. There are a lot of new things and opportunities being made that is intended to transform our world for the better, as well as innovative and progressive research to not only save, but improve the lives of everyone. For every educator, the university makes sure there are only six students in his/her class. Standford also provides the students a good chance to take their studies overseas as well as world-renowned professors for the students.

Every year, more than 34,000 prospective students apply at Standford and only 1,500 of them are accepted. 92% of those who got in belong to the top 10% of their high school classes. One other means in securing an acceptance letter is to have you parents donate a new building to the University. Most of the university students have science or engineer majors. Having said that, there are some, specifically 3,500, who have not decided what their major is yet. You are not required to declare it immediately. No need to rush declaring a major. University grounds can be described as remarkable well-kept, classic and futuristic architecture. Only 2% of people studying there do not live on campus. It offers a Campus is highly manicured, traditional and space age architecture. 98% of students live on campus. Stanford has a campus wide complimentary bus service but many still use their bikes as their mode of transportation.

Stanford students happen to be imaginative, optimistic and focused on their goals. It invited the best of the best. The expense of studying there is $56,000 for one year including tuition and residence fees. There are no additional fees for other programs offered like the study abroad program. The university also offers work programs to lessen the student's expenses. Majority of the students benefit from monetary aid, scholarship grants and loans.

For four educational years I spent in Standford, I have grown to harbor a fondness for this school. It forms and conditions you for a life that becomes better and fuller as each year passes by. As a supporter of Social Distortion and a graduate of Standford, it is safe to say that I have experienced a lucky life.
