Stanford Newbie Questions

[b c]

As an incoming international graduate student, I’m extremely excited to be able to learn as much as possible from my lecturers, but more importantly from my peers whilst at Stanford, and hope to make some lasting friendships along the way. As such, does anyone know of any activities/clubs/groups that make it relatively easy to meet friendly people, both international and domestic? I’ve already signed up for a week-long graduate workshop when I arrive, but would love to try many other things (volunteering/outreach, yoga, meditation classes, hiking/camping, diving). Does anyone have any personal anecdotes or suggestions of what’s possible, what they found to be the most fun/enlightening group they joined or where the best places to look would be? Would really appreciate it, thanks!
