Stanford University is widely known for its influence in Silicon Valley. The school’s proximity makes it a good place for students to think critically about business and technology. As a result, students develop many startups and independent projects, as well as work internships in the valley. This school helps students thrive and build strong connections with colleagues and faculty by offering small class sizes. The “work hard, play hard” culture at Stanford encourages a collaborative community of students who are tight-knit and dedicated to self-reflection and social-innovation.
