Stanford University

The gorgeous Stanford University campus is around 30 miles from San Francisco in California's Bay Area. Stanford's student organizations include the Stanford Pre-Business Association and the Stanford Solar Automobile Project, which develops, builds, and races a solar car every two years. The Stanford Cardinal are well-known for their annual football rivalry with Cal, which culminates in the victor receiving the Stanford Axe, a cherished trophy. Stanford's tennis and golf programs are also world-class. Only freshmen are required to live on campus, although all students are guaranteed to reside on campus for the entire four years, and the vast majority choose to do so. Greek life represents around a quarter of the student body at Stanford.

Two well-known theatrical and musical groups at Stanford include the Ram's Head Theatrical Society and the Mendicants, an all-male Cappella ensemble. 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.
