3 reviews of Stanford University

One of the world's most prestigious universities

Finding myself with time to kill in Silicon Valley, I couldn't wait to visit one of the most prestigious universities in the world: Stanford, alma mater to Bill Gates and many Nobel Prize winners. The place is amazing! It looks like some kind of Arab-Andalusian village, sheltering an imposing church built centuries ago ... but in fact, the palm trees remind you that you're still in California. The grounds of the university extend for miles and bikes are available so that students can get around with ease. I suggest you visit the library, sponsored by the computing giants of Silicon Valley, and

Pay a few dollars to climb the 90 meter Hoover Tower to get an idea of just how vast this university is.

Stanford University

Universidad de Stanford

La universidad es el centro neurálgico de la población californiana de Palo Alto, lugar donde han salido alguna de las más prestigiosas empresas de alta tecnología tan conocidas, como Google, entre otras muchas. El campus, de estilo colonial, esta compuesto por varios edificios donde destaca la torre del campanario y El Ovalo, una zona de jardines en el interior del recinto universitario. Además de los edificios con los distintos departamentos que forman la universidad, sin duda que el más visitado es el que alberga el primer servidor que empezó Google, un pequeño ordenador con piezas de lego. Ya fuera del campus, se encuentra el garaje donde se inicio la primera empresa de Silicon Valley, y donde empezó la empresa Hewlett-Packard.

The campus, colonial style, is composed of several buildings where stands the bell tower and the Ovalo, an area of ​​gardens inside the campus. In addition to the buildings with the different departments that make up the university, certainly the most visited is the home to the first server that Google began, a small computer with Lego pieces. Outside the campus, you are the garage where the first Silicon Valley company began, and where the company Hewlett-Packard began.
