Pssh Standford whatever, my school's business school is on par with it. Impostor allegedly lived at Stanford PALO ALTO, Calif. - Stanford University officials said they were investigating claims that a young woman passed herself off as a student, talked her way into several dormitories and lived on campus for eight months. ADVERTISEMENT The university would not disclose the woman's name or the circumstances surrounding her alleged ruse, but the school's student newspaper identified her as Azia Kim, 18, of Fullerton. "We consider these allegations, if confirmed, to be a serious breach of security within the residence halls," Greg Boardman, Stanford's vice provost for student affairs, said in a statement Thursday. "We are conducting a full investigation into what occurred and how security can be improved." The Stanford Daily, quoting one of Kim's former roommates, said the deception started last September, the day before Stanford's orientation for new students. Two sophomores agreed to let Kim stay in their room after she told them she did not like the roommate she had been assigned. During the fall and winter terms, Kim allegedly slept in the other women's room or the lounge of the 210-resident dorm. Last month, she moved into another dorm after being referred to another student who needed a roommate. Resident assistants became suspicious after comparing conflicting statements Kim allegedly gave and contacting the student housing office. Kim was confronted and escorted from campus on Monday, according to The Stanford Daily. Amy Zhou, Kim's roommate in the second dorm, said Kim apparently got into the room through the window because she never had a key. Kim told other students she was a sophomore majoring in human biology and bought textbooks and studied with friends. "Personally, I don't feel safe now that Stanford allowed this to happen and that they're not doing anything to ensure the safety of their students," Zhou told the newspaper. Part of the investigation by campus police and administrators is focused on finding out if Kim took classes, ate meals in the dorm cafeteria or availed herself of other services, said Elaine Ray, a Stanford spokeswoman. The university plans to forward evidence in the case to Santa Clara County prosecutors to determine if criminal charges are warranted. "Stanford is a remarkably caring and friendly community," Boardman said. "It is unfortunate that some may be able to take advantage of that trust for their own ends." Kim's whereabouts or contacts for her family could not be immediately found by The Associated Press.
This is some weird news, how can she passed that long without anyone knowing. Good thing is that shes not some crazy psychos.
It's not good what she did but if she didn't steal other people's stuff except trying to find a sleeping place it wouldn't have done much harm? It does prove the security and rules could be a bit stricter though.
well i knew people who were living int he dorms, then dropped out of school but some of them were able to stay until the end of the school year (if not caught) one i knew did get caught, so he had to leave
True what you said, but the thing is she attended classes and studied alongside students. I guess she wanted to experience the college experience. Oh really did you rat on them jks jksl.
Hmm, it's almost impossible to check everyone whether they belong to a college class or not, esp. when it's been held in a huge room. (it's a different thing when she attends the small project classes ofcourse) On a side note; my uni allows everyone to attend the college classes as long people are seriously interested in the subject and not troubling the real students. Even I can attend a college about Chemistry or Political State Affairs in Latin America if I wanted to. Hehe, I know lots of non-Media & Culture students have discovered the movie hours that we're supposed to view for homework if we haven't seen it before. (they screen it in a regular big room)
how do ppl come up with these ideas? maybe she really wanted to go to stanford but couldn't get in and this was the only way for her to deal with not getting in...
"Amy Zhou, Kim's roommate in the second dorm, said Kim apparently got into the room through the window because she never had a key. Kim told other students she was a sophomore majoring in human biology and bought textbooks and studied with friends." Right here
it is media trying to make a story. happens all the time when people trying to find a place to crash. she prob short of money and wanted to go back to sckool or something
