Stanford is a place of discovery, creativity and innovation located in the San Francisco Bay Area on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
Stanford follows a quarter system with the autumn quarter usually beginning in late September and the spring quarter ending in mid-June. The full-time, four-year undergraduate program has an arts and sciences focus with high graduate student coexistence. Stanford is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.
Stanford’s admission process is need-blind for U.S. citizens and permanent residents; while it is not need-blind for international students, 64% are on need-based aid, with an average aid package of $31,411. In 2012–13, the university awarded $126 million in need-based financial aid to 3,485 students, with an average aid package of $40,460. Eighty percent of students receive some form of financial aid. Stanford has a no-loan policy. For undergraduates admitted starting in 2015, Stanford waives tuition, room, and board for most families with incomes below $65,000, and most families with incomes below $125,000 are not required to pay tuition; those with incomes up to $150,000 may have tuition significantly reduced. Seventeen percent of students receive Pell Grants, a common measure of low-income students at a college.

The curriculum is excellent. It is well-structured and organized. It is continually updated and modified to make it more convenient for students. It can also be used by students of all nationalities.

The payment structure is flexible enough to fit student's budgets, but it can prove difficult for students from countries with a high currency exchange rate similar to the GBP. It was a great experience. The tutors, student advisors, and project supervisors were very supportive. I have recommended Stanford University a few prospective students and will definitely recommend it to others.

I am enjoying the after-service support. Two weeks ago, I had my graduation ceremony. I still receive mails from people congratulating me and offering help to settle in my career. I hope to take advantage of some of these opportunities.

It was where I received my foundation degree a few years back. It was the best decision that I have ever made. I just graduated with a BA (hons), and I now have the job of my dreams, which I couldn’t have done without this university. The staff was extremely helpful and understanding. They helped me through the course. They are a great team and I can't praise them enough.

This university is absolutely terrible! They were unwilling to answer my questions about the classes.
