Stanford University

Stanford University's magnificent campus is around 30 miles from San Francisco in California's Bay Area. The Stanford Pre-Business Association and the Stanford Solar Car Project, which develops, manufactures, and races a solar car every two years, are just a few of the student organizations available at Stanford. The Stanford Cardinal are well-known for their yearly football rivalry with Cal, which culminates with the Stanford Axe – a prized trophy — being awarded to the victor. Stanford also has outstanding tennis and golf programs. Only freshmen are required to live on campus, although all students are guaranteed to house for the whole four years, and the majority opt to do so. At Stanford, Greek life accounts for about a quarter of the student body.

The Ram's Head Theatrical Society and the Mendicants, an all-male a cappella group, are two well-known theatrical and musical clubs at Stanford. Former US President Herbert Hoover, Hall of Fame NFL quarterback John Elway, actress Sigourney Weaver, and golfer Tiger Woods, who played collegiately at Stanford, are among the notable Stanford alumni.
