Stanford University Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 1,280 reviews
My experience at Stanford University was incredibly enriching and transformative. The academic rigor challenged me to push my boundaries and think critically in diverse fields of study. The vibrant campus culture fostered deep connections with peers and faculty, sparking countless engaging discussions and collaborations. The resources and opportunities available, from research initiatives to extracurricular activities, were unparalleled, allowing me to pursue my interests and passions fully. However, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of diversity and inclusion efforts, ensuring that all students feel equally supported and represented within the Stanford community. Additionally, enhancing accessibility to resources for students from various socioeconomic backgrounds would further enrich the university experience for all.
My first year at Stanford has been absolutely incredible! The campus is just stunning!! And the best part? It's super safe, which is a big deal for me as an international student. Whenever I'm back on campus, it's like a breath of fresh air, like coming home. And remember, Stanford is seriously loaded with resources. I couldn't imagine experiencing college anywhere else.
Stanford was incredible for me - it shifted my perspectives, made me a better scholar and human being, and is where I made all my most valuable friendships (even now, 4 years out). My Stanford community is my most important community!
