I seriously recommend not attending Stanford University. There is no student union; student life is terrible. I spend almost all of my time doing homework. Stanford is like summer camp - the kids are immature and behave like idiots. Please do not come here. You will hate it!

Not so bright
Stanford is quite simply the best university in the world. Great weather, engaging academics, brilliant people, laid back atmosphere, welcoming dorms, awesome sports teams, and strong alumni network. I want to fail my senior year classes just so I can stay longer. The best part is the intellectual vibrancy-- its hard to go back into "the real world" after being surrounded by such excellent, driven people. People who do not thrive here are the introverted types-- Stanford is type-A all the way.
Useful Schoolwork: A+, Scholastic Success: B+

Stanford University.Vibrant Californian campus combined with the rigor, prestige and enjoyment of a top Ivy-League education in the laid-back californian attitude.

I came from a very prestigious high school from the east coast expecting something somewhat different from my high school whose enviornment was very competitive and advanced. However, I did not get what I was looking for. Not only are so many students there the overachieving types who are suddenly like; "hey, I'm in stanford my life is set let's blow off college!" Then there are those types who are like "i gotta get into med school, I will bug and annoy my professors, backstab and cajole my friends into improving my grades, get into med school THEN my life will be set." The education is alright, its pretty average considering my major. I have lots of science/math classes where the teaching is competent but just average in terms of professor's enthusiasm towards teaching. These profs probably are sick and tired of those premed and prelaw bums screaming whenever they get a B or C. I'd seriously would have gone to a state school, there at least I could be paying much less.
