The University of Stanford It is one of the most prestigious in the world. Did not give anything less than 81 new prizes in its rich and long history. Admission to this Chamber of American Studies is a very difficult mission. Or maybe not so much.
Because it was enough for a 24-year-old boy to say he was a second year student to be able not only to enter but Live two years without anyone noticing that I wasn’t really a student. As long as they did it.
The young man, identified as William Curry, lived on the university campus with other residents, with whom he socialized, and was discovered after A TV was missing from one of the rooms. Only yours.
The man was caught and received a restraining order and a warning that If you return to the campus you will be arrestedalthough residential staff “had no reason to believe the person was a threat,” the Daily Stanford argued.
The students of the prestigious university were surprised when the news spread through the classrooms and corridors.It was shocking to realize that he lied to us‘, maintained Olivia Roti, one of Crothers Hall’s residents.
“We just accept it. We believed to him totally. We panicked that they were going to put us in the Crothers basement next year,” added the 26-year-old woman.
Graham Johnstone, meanwhile, another Crothers Hall resident, told the press He attended high school with curry at Vestavia Hills High School, a public school in a suburb of Birmingham, Alabama.
Johnstone said Curry said he was recruited to apply to Stanford for an athletic scholarship.People had suspicions”, she argued, adding: “He was not such a good student. And his times on the track weren’t fast enough.”
According to Curry’s profile on Atletico.netWhich is a website that records the data of the competitors, its 400 meters records were at least six seconds below the time of Stanford’s athletes.
But once Johnstone saw Curry at his residence, he said his personal suspicions were laid to rest: “Let’s take a picture togetherwe sent her home to clear up the confusion, sort out the rumor,” she said.
Johnstone said he was shocked to discover his former high school classmate was a squatter.A part of me does not believe it is serious“.
Curry often looked at the campus that transported an athletic backpack by Stanford and gave the impression of being a member of the athletics team, five other residents in crorus declared a day.
And they added that Curry said he was studying neuroscience and He also created an Instagram account With a biography that included “Stanford 25”.
But Curry’s act collapsed after the TV in Crothers’ basement went missing. Residential staff confirmed that the metal lifeline had cut the TV, which aroused suspicion among the students.
The fear that is aroused among the students is for the “small or no security on the campus that a man could enter and impersonate as a student for 2 years”.
