Three Books
Three Books is Stanford's signature common reading program for undergraduate first-year and new transfer students. Each year, Stanford carefully selects a theme and books for incoming new students to read and discuss with each other over the summer. The program culminates in discussions with the authors during New Student Orientation and during the first year, where students are given the opportunity to ask the authors questions and hear their perspectives.
Structured Liberal Education
Sometimes called ‘a liberal arts college experience’ within the University, Structured Liberal Education (SLE) is a residence-based academic program that encourages students to live a life of ideas in an atmosphere that emphasizes critical thinking and interpretation.

Stanford in New York
Being in New York City has helped me grow professionally and personally in a way I wasn’t able to do on Stanford’s campus...Through Stanford in New York, I’ve been able to explore what it means to be a public service worker in the city, inspiring and being inspired by the girls I was lucky to work with!
