How to get to the Stanford campus from the airport
If you have a homestay arranged (we highly recommend this wonderful opportunity – you can find out about this in your admission package!), have your homestay hosts pick you up at the airport. Otherwise, please feel free to contact us (contact information is listed below) ahead of time and provide us with your flight schedule. We will welcome you at the airport and drive you back to the campus together.
What to do after you arrive on Campus
Once you arrive on campus, we encourage you to contact other students here in order to familiarize yourself with banking, transportation, social security, housing and shopping options. Also, plan to attend PSA events so that you may meet senior students who will help you get adjusted.
