Question

Has anyone ever heard of a place called Stanford Hill or Sanford HIll?? I was just wonderin because somebody told me a while ago that they got their PhD there and I have never heard of the place so I was just wondering, not that I care but... just wonderin!!

Answer 1

Stamford Hill is a place in the north of the London Borough of Hackney, near the border with Haringey. It is home to one of Europe's largest Hasidic Jewish communities.

If it's Stamford and not Stanford that may be your place. It's a large Jewishh community so if it's a Jewis college it could be there.

If you're in USA could be

Stanford Medical University
Located between San Francisco and San Jose in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stanford University is recognized as one of the world's leading research and teaching institutions. The Introduction to Stanford website provides a guided tour of undergraduate academic opportunities, research, student life, and popular campus sights.

Answer 2

There is a Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, a University of Connecticut at Stamford, and a Samford University in Alabama. I also find several entries for Stamford Hill University in an internet search (none of them with a typical college website), so it may be a distance education school (where you do your coursework via the internet, videoconferences, email for assignments, etc.), or it could be a diploma mill situation where you pay your money and get a diploma that is not at all valid.

I suggest you check out the American Association of Colleges and Universities (http://www.aacu.org/), an agency that accredits liberal arts colleges and universities in the United States to find out whether this school is a member. Most legitimate, liberal arts colleges and universities are members and, as such, are accredited by them.

Answer 3

Hill University Diploma Mill

Answer 4

I have never heard of it but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
