Stanford University is the ideal location for groups of any size. Each year nearly 200 organizations hold summer conferences that are consistent with the University's fundamental mission of teaching, research, and public service. Summer at Stanford is green grass, beige buildings, red tile roofs, and blue, sunny skies.
Days are warm, nights are cool, and the humidity is comfortably low.
Stanford is located 30 miles south of the city of San Francisco. Our 8,200-acre campus stretches from the Santa Clara Valley into the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, beyond which lies the Pacific Ocean. Registered conferees have privileges at Stanford's main, branch, and coordinate libraries containing over 6.5 million volumes. 2 Housing Stanford offers conferees a wide variety of housing options in student residences. Freestanding houses provide intimate settings for small groups of 30 to 50 people.
