Just to add on re: surroundings, Stanford has Jasper Ridge and the Hopkins Marine Station, not to mention it’s a short drive to the beach, an even shorter one to the Bay (if you want to go sailing, etc.); San Francisco and San Jose are nearby, and of course the whole Bay Area is booming with culture and commerce. Immediately on campus, there’s a golf course, Lake Lag (which is supposedly going to be continually filled), an awesome arboretum, rolling hills…

Do I even need to mention Silicon Valley?
