Academic Jewel of California, Stanford University

Situated in the breathtakingly beautiful Santa Clara Valley in the state of California, Leland Stanford Junior University, or Stanford University, which is how most people know it, is the home several thousand happy students. Nearly every student that you may see studying in Stanford is happy and contented with his decision of choosing Stanford.

Often compared with the Ivy League universities, Stanford University has been one of those universities that young students often dream to be in. It was brought into being in the year of 1891 and since then, Stanford has been augmenting its quality in every way possible. It has now become one of the most widely popular universities around the world.

With housing seven major schools that cater various courses, Stanford always has something that may interest any young individual at all. It is popular for having overall the best academic quality in the United Sates of America.

Now, unlike many other advanced learning universities in United States of America, Stanford provides various ways for its students to socialize and have a life separate from studies. The competition is always there, however, one does not have to completely sacrifice his social life in his college years. In fact, many would say that Stanford is like a tiny world for students where they learn, socialize and spend their college years preparing for the real world! Well, that is what the very optimistic people would say, as others call it the “Stanford Bubble”.

Stanford is really a true amalgamation of all things good! You do not only learn from the great intellectuals of every academic and career pathway but you also get the opportunity of preparing for the outside world, all while not sacrificing on your social life. There are also quite a number of university traditions that Stanford follows religiously and all of these traditions make it possible for the students to not go overwhelmed with the neck-to-neck academic competition.

Keeping the matter of isolation from the city life aside, Stanford University is, without any doubt, one of the greatest ranking universities of the world.
