I know that Stanford is in California, but what is the specific location? I'm just trying to look into whether it's on the coast or not.
Stanford University is located in Stanford, California, which is in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is situated between San Francisco and San Jose, about 35 miles southeast of San Francisco and about 20 miles northwest of San Jose. The campus itself is not directly on the coast, but it is only about 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The close proximity to the ocean offers opportunities for visiting nearby beaches and enjoying coastal activities in the area.
