<p>In one of my essays for Stanford, I need to include a place that Stanford students would go on weekends. However, I've never been to Stanford so I don't know anything about the geography there.</p>
<p>Do you know a park or a big street that wouldn't be harmed by gathering of a lot of people? The place should be no more than 30mins apart from the campus. If there is no such a place, you could tell me an outdoor on-campus site where students can walk around and relax...</p>
<p>I need a specific and correct name, so I hope somebody who attends Stanford, or knows well about its geography tell me sth.
Thank you!!!</p>
<p>There isn't really a place students would go off campus... unless maybe they'd go to the beach at Half Moon Bay? But that might be a bit more than 30 min away, although not <em>too</em> far... On campus there's the oval, this big grassy area where students will sunbathe, study, play volleyball, etc. </p>
<p>If neither of those will work let me know and I'll try to think of something else.</p>
<p>The Oval sounds like your best bet...it's on campus, but between the main quad/dorms and the city of Palo Alto. Google it if you want to know what it looks like.</p>
<p>I suppose you could mention something about Palo Alto if you were really looking for an off-campus place...</p>
<p>gathering? there's a small mountain nearby where ppl hike... pm me if u still need help. i live in the city right next to it :p</p>
