School Profile:

Stanford University is a private university in the United States. It is recognized as one of the most outstanding universities in the world and is praised as the "Harvard of the West". The university was founded in 1885. It was donated by Leland Stanford Sr., the then California railroad tycoon and former governor of California, to commemorate his son who died of illness while traveling in Italy. He used his 8,180-acre farm as the campus. "The wind of freedom will always blow" (Die Luft der Freiheit weht) is the motto of Stanford University, which conveys Stanford's unique style of openness, tolerance, and pursuit of freedom of thought and freedom of mind. The main buildings in the university are yellow bricks and red tiles, and are all stable. They are all in the style of 17th-century Spanish mission halls. Entering the university, you will be greeted by a red-roofed building surrounded by ochre stone walls. arcade The buildings are connected, and the rows of palm trees are full of cultural and academic atmosphere in the combination of classic and modern. Today, when many foreign universities are facing difficulties in enrollment and operation, the number of applicants to Stanford University remains high. Its free academic atmosphere and strong teaching conditions have attracted many talents, experts and scholars from home and abroad. Over the years, graduates of Stanford University have made extremely outstanding contributions to human civilization, scientific and technological progress, world political economy, and modern business development.
