We want to help you Find Your Own Stanford.

 

 

 

Why meet with an advisor?

Advising at Stanford is not only—or even primarily—about helping students who are having academic or personal difficulties. Far from it. We think of advising as:

  • a gateway to the university
  • a sounding board for testing out your ideas
  • a place where you can find someone who wants to get to know you
  • a launching pad that will help you soar

Choosing Courses

Think about each class as a brick in the intellectual edifice you are creating for yourself.

It needs to provide the foundation for future work as well as allowing you to build on what came before.

Ways of Thinking / Ways of Doing

I was really worried about fulfilling the SMA way because I am not a ‘STEM person’, but I was able to fulfill it with an Anthropology course that was actually very interesting and showed me that you don’t have to be a ‘STEM person’ to find interesting classes in the sciences or maths.
