Ten places on campus that the Class of 2028 must see

May 31, 2024, 1:18 a.m.

1. Memorial Church Dining

You’ll enjoy this dining hall the most. The food is so good that one student allegedly passed out and took three days to recover. Avoid on Sundays.

2. Stanford University Tabletstore

Get all of your required class readings on readily engraved stone tablets here. The Tabletstore also houses the Department of Mesopotamia Studies.

3. Carl-illaga

Residence is exclusively for people named Carl.

4. Pink Plaza

Legend has it that your chances of finding your Stanford bestie are at their best when someone says “Hi Barbie!” to you here. Formerly White Plaza, this area became all the rage way back when Barbie became the new trend on campus.

5. Delta Delta Delta Delta

Commonly known as QuadDelt, this building houses the sorority that has been ranked as “Stanford’s most liked” for its entire history. Also the only dorm on campus that exclusively houses four residents in each room (guaranteed bids for quadruplets too). 

6. Sinnergy

What happens in Sinnergy, stays in Sinnergy. If you plan on living here, bring extra bottles of water. And a leather belt.

7. Other Quad

Main Quad too packed for your photo op? Try Other Quad! This is where a lot of sophomores and 2L law students have their classes.

8. Arrillaga Court of Justice

The ACJ is where all cases of misconduct at Stanford are tried. A former Stanford president resigned at the eleventh hour prior to an ACJ case against him beginning due to “academic fraud.”

9. President’s Corner

Commonly referred to as PresCo. Here, student IDs are called “Visas.”

10. Hoover Phallus

A life size replica of Herbert Hoover’s penis.
