Standford University 101

By Philip James


Stanford is recognized to be one of the most renowned universities in the United States as well as the world. I could very well supply you the Wikipedia version right here, but I reckoned it would turn out to be more suitable to help show you the point of view of a student rather than from a historical point of view.

The environment of the university is considerably impressive and therefore, top notch among those located on the west area. The architecture shows a more exclusive and contemporary vibe to it compared to other universities of the same caliber, but I love the mission style structural design. All of the properties within the campus are certainly renowned, and Palm Drive is absolutely 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.

With regards to it academic standards, Standford is a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10.I have met a bunch of wonderful instructors and I absolutely treasure the educational experience I've had there. Inside the campus buildings you will find a bustling arena of innovations and experiments that are all geared toward making a world a better place, as more notably, helping other people lives. Classes are kept within a small scale of 1:6 teacher-student ratio. Small class sizes. It's about 1:6 ratio. There are also a lot of programs that makes it possible for students to study abroad at one of the many Standford international campuses. However, if you choose to stay there, you will most likely meet several prominent educators within the classroom.

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 tend to be focused, creative and positive. It attracts the best of the best. The cost of tuition is $56,000 per year including tuition, room and board. No extra cost for international study or other special programs. Tuition assistance work programs are available to help reduce the finances. Nearly all students get financial aid, scholarships and loans.

I spent four formative years in Stanford and while I have a deep affection for this campus. Stanford is a school that prepares you for a life that gets better and richer with every year. Being a fan of Social Distortion and an alumni of Stanford, you can say I've lived a "charmed life".
