Lots of Top-Notch Facilities for Many Different Activities

The athletic facilities are top-notch, as are the labs and libraries. The gym I go to is big, with a rock climbing wall, weight room, mats for martial arts training/yoga/pilates/etc. Stanford is currently building a new gym, and has just finished a new concert hall. It needs more music practice/theater space, but those are supposedly coming in the next few years, as the university is in the midst of expanding its arts programs. There are also several students hang-out areas complete with food, and the campus itself is expansive and beautiful.

Libraries on Campus

The chairs are execrably bad. Any book you can think of is somewhere on campus, and the law library is a hidden gem (except undergrads are locked out during finals). Meyer is kind of gross, but the art and education libraries are mostly empty and gorgeous.

Abundant and Well-Equipped Facilities

There a LOT of well-equipped, well-run facilities on campus, from huge libraries to the Hume Writing Center for help with absolutely any writing assignment you might have, to the campus eateries. The only complaint I might have, and it's a small one, is that a lot of the stores on campus aren't open nearly late enough, which is strange considering they're supposed to be there for us students, who are all up at crazy hours
