    The Stanford University campus was much larger than I had expected. There were squirrels living freely on the campus, which I thought must provide a sense of solace for the students studying there.

    Stanford campus is such a beautiful campus. Beyond being a wonderful place to learn a multitude of sciences and skills.

    Our experience is not academic but just a visit to the campus. A visit to the bay area means a stop here, even if it's fleeting. I love to take a stroll here admire the buildings, the church, the corridors. There is a huge track and field ground. Our visit to bay area is never complete without making a stop here, especially in the evenings when the weather is cool. You can sign up for a guided walk or just do one by yourself. Either way it's beautiful. There is lot of free parking on site and also a gift shop and cafes.

    It's a beautiful campus during fall. California loves any traces of fall foliage and you'll find it here at Stanford University. The whole campus is fun to stroll about during spring and summer as well but I do love fall the most.

    Stanford visitor center info board

    Who knew that stanford has a visitor center? I stumbled upon the famous visitor center and found the stanford alumni magazine free for reviewing here, mini talks, campus tour, designed for aspiring students and visitors. Living the nerdy origami tree. Stanford, while a very competitive school to get into, welcomes students of all walks of life to visit its beautiful vast campus - with much revamp and new buildings in recent years (e.g. the knight centers by Nike founder around GSB). Wish all the students luck. The staff is super nice. Book ahead.

    A fine institution of higher learning. By all accounts one of the best on the left coast. We come here for the sports. Primarily football. They've always had a competitive team and superior tailgate areas. NIL and the portal have hit the program hard. A fairy recent coaching change in the midst of recruiting was another set back. They've had some goon wins this year (2024) including a win last Saturday over Louisville ranked at 22. The Cardinal beat the Cardinals in a tightly contested game. #FearTheTree

    i came to Stanford for a tutoring class offered here. the campus is beautiful, and it's nice to see all the great hospitals, clinics and doctors coming from this University

    The tour was perfect! Having the opportunity to see the campus from my son's point of view was the best way to tour this expansive campus. The sights were incredible and we got a lot to steps in as we walked around.

    What: 45 minute admission info session and 90 minute campus tour. Ryan gave a great presentation. Our guide Nick was amazing and our tour of this beautiful campus was very educational and enjoyable - as well as good exercise!

    I was contemplating on starting my grad degree here, but I'll stick to Yelping my life away. The architecture, memorials, sports fields... just a nice spot to walk around and take pictures.

    $5 beer.

    We came here for their opening home football game. It was a great game, it was close till half time. Then unfortunately they lost. Fan Fest was fun. It was by on the top of the stadium. They had $5 beers. The line took around 30 minutes to get through. There was only 1 person pouring and there was a lot of foam so they were having a hard time getting everyone a full glass. They did allow you to get two cups at a time. If you got there early you have nothing better to do than to Stand in line. They had a little beer garden surrounding the beer booth. It was a nice place to sit and relax. We sat on the loveseat. It was very comfortable. They had a separate line for food. They had tacos or pulled pork(beef or chicken) sandwiches. Each had their own lines. The lines were short compared to the beer line. It took maybe 5 minuets to get our pulled pork sandwiches and potato salad. It was $15 for the pulled pork sandwich and potato salad or coleslaw. They also had concessions on the lower level. There was no line for concessions. We later had chips and they were freshly made and very good. We sat behind the goal posts. They were great seats in the lower level. Parking was a challenge. The parking attendants were great guiding you to your parking spot. We parked in lot 8. $25 pre sale. The issue was finding your car later. There are no light posts, or any markers like they do at concert venues and Disneyland to find your car. Here you are parked in the middle for a eucalyptus grove. All the lots look the same. Our only saving grace was the find your car app on google maps. With out it we would have lost our car. I wonder how others were able to find their cars.

    Big room of alumni

    Nerd alert! =P My hubz is a grad alumni from here so of course, I had to get the obligatory campus tour, watch a football game, and be his date for his grad alumni event. All the events I went to were pretty impressive. Our campus tour leader was very knowledgeable, attentive and fun - the campus is huge, clean and vibrant. The football game was entertaining and fun - band was also really good! The alumni event was very well-organized and we got to hear engaging presentations from some of the best professors in their fields (Ge Wang's music tech presentation was awesome!), tour the Bing Concert Hall, and have delicious food and unlimited wine/beer at the happy hour in the alumni center garden patio. I left that event inspired with their mission of not only achieving academic excellence, but also to be good stewards in making the world a better place. It's also mind boggling to think of all of the prestige surrounding this university - highly recommend a visit!

    This review is for the university building area. Nice place for walking around and pictures. Their building looks really nice. Saw people doing weddings photos there.

    CAn you go inside the university and take pictures?

    Depends on where inside the university you are going. But the general open areas are open to the public. A popular area is the Palm Drive and the Quad with Memorial Church for example. There's also the outdoor area by the Cantor Art Museum too.

    If you go to Hoover Tower, you can pay $2 to ride the elevator up to see a wide view of Silicon Valley.
