San Jose and SF are short train rides away.

Downtown Palo Alto is good–lots of restaurants/stores/etc.

Grad school and internship placement is top-notch–check cdc.stanford.edu. (Internship networks, high % going to grad school, etc.) This is also the support system for graduates.

Obviously, Stanford’s grads are very successful–check the stats at the CDC. Also, check out famous alumni.

There are exchange/class options at other colleges.

For faculty info, check the websites for the respective departments, look at the faculty pages, and check out their bios/curriculum vitae (if they have it up). Most have awards. These department sites also have info on opportunities for majors and non-majors in the area.

Check out housing.stanford.edu for info on housing. 80 different undergraduate residences, lots of options, etc.
