Stanford University has always been one of the best universities in the world, with excellent academic reputation and research strength. The school has world-class teachers and advanced teaching facilities, providing a wide range of disciplines and professional choices. In addition, Stanford University also has a high influence in the field of scientific and technological innovation and entrepreneurship, and its close ties with Silicon Valley provide students with rich practical opportunities. In contrast, although Yale University has an excellent reputation in the fields of humanities and social sciences, it is relatively weak in the fields of science and technology and engineering. So, on the whole, Stanford University is better.
