Student Reviews
Representative reviews"A great decision"
Coming here has changed how I think. The best part: the teaching staff are genuinely world-class and accessible. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city — housing gets expensive fast if you don't live in dorms. Overall, if you're considering Master's degree in Philosophy at Stanford University, I'd say go for it.
"Genuinely worthwhile"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, first-year classes can be quite large. On the city — the campus feels like a self-contained bubble in the best way.
