Stanford made a tremendous difference in my life through exposure to bright and interesting classmates, and excellent faculty. Most of us acquired a personal identity as "Stanford students" in which we took pride and which we were loath to surrender at graduation. Not everything was perfect and not everyone was highly intelligent or nice, but the place was about as much of a Mecca as it could be given it was full of ambitious teenagers.

I spent a lot of time considering which university I wanted to attend - right down to May 1. My decision ultimately came down to whether I wanted to spend a lot of money to go to Stanford, or attend a less perstigious university for less money. I do not regret my decision. Stanford works very hard to provide an open environment to its students. Most students are very entusiastic about what they are studying and where they are going in life, and everyone is obviously very talented at what the do. Although I feel like a little fish in a big pond here, I am convinced that, perhaps more than any other aspect of Stanford, my peers are encouraging me to grow.

I switched from school of humanities to school of engineering - the latter does make you work twice as hard with less friendlier curves. The campus is extremely beautiful and your friends and peers make it worth it, although sometimes people can be self-absorbed workaholics here, so find the people who aren't. The school has an abundance of resources but make sure you plan ahead so you can actually make use of them. Advising is generally quite bad - that's probably my biggest complaint. Do a lot of research and asking questions on your own and try your best to figure out your goals early on and then Stanford will get you there. But you got to know what you want first, which can take a while to figure out, especially when the advising department doesn't help you on that discovery.
