More than just a timekeeper, the Stanford Clock Tower is a favorite photo spot and meeting place for students. Standing beneath it, you can almost imagine yourself in a classic college movie scene. When the bells ring, it feels like time slows down just a bit—reminding everyone to savor the moment.
