Driving

Plan extra driving time for your visit. The area surrounding the museum will be busy before being opened. We advise you to arrive a few hours before or several hours after the opening time to avoid high traffic times.

Directions

From the 110 Freeway, take the Exposition Boulevard exit and head west toward Vermont Avenue. Turn left on Bill Robertson Lane. The museum’s newly opened Car Park will be on your left hand side and cost $12.

Parking

The museum’s parking lot fills up quickly on game days. We suggest arriving early in the day. All guests and members who plan to visit the museum may park in the museum’s Car Park. If the museum’s Car Park is full, parking is also available in the state-run Lot 3 across the street. Parking in this lot will cost $12 (cash only). Remember that cars parked in Lot 3 after 5: 30 pm will be issued a parking citation (罚单).

Where to eat

If you are bringing your own food, we invite you to picnic under the trees on the grass in front of the museum. Food and drinks are not allowed inside any of the museum halls and exhibits. We appreciate your help in preserving our museum.

At the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, you can see more than just walls and fossils. We provide not only a typical museum experience, but also hands-on exhibits. You can stay indoors, outdoors, and all over Los Angeles. We inspire the widest possible audience to become keepers of the living Earth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between High School Summer College and a summer camp?

Stanford’s High School Summer College is an academically selective program that provides access to college education at one of America’s most respected universities. Summer College is not a camp, but an eight-week college experience that provides academic, social, and intellectual opportunities that cannot be found in a high school classroom.

What kind of student are you looking for?

We are looking for academically motivated high school students who are ready for a college experience. This doesn’t mean an applicant needs the highest test scores in their class, but we do need evidence that a student enjoys learning, understands how to be successful in an academically rigorous (严格的)educational environment, and is prepared to be in a college classroom.

Can I get a job to earn money during my time at Stanford?

High School Summer College students are expected to participate fully in our program. In addition to class time and study time, there are many daily and weekly activities scheduled for the group. To truly benefit from the summer experience, our students should be completely involved in all aspects of the program. High School Summer College students will receive no permission to work during their time on campus.

Can I leave campus while I’m there for the summer?

The Program Handbook details information about the question. High School Summer College students should not miss class for any reason. There is a strict school rule requiring all program participants to be at the dormitory and asleep for the summer by twelve midnight Sunday through Thursday, and half an hour later Fridays and Saturdays. As long as the above rules are followed, students are able to leave campus.
