The students realize there is much more to life than school, and still pursue school, and their other interests with passion. It lacks some of the typical college party atmosphere that some students are looking for, but we have our fun, and you have to create your own social life at times, it won't just happen. Be sure to visit wherever you go, and make sure that you're at a school that makes you (not parents or others) happy. Education Quality: A+, Surrounding City: B Have a Question?

The police officer told me that in similar situations, they work out a schedule to accomodate both parties so that the victim and the perpetrator do not see each other and are not alone together. Other people told me not to say anything. It was a rather traumatizing experience and over and over people told me to go to counseling instead of calling the man who raped me, as I asked. He doesn't think he did anything wrong and as far as I know he'll be hired to work there this fall. Other professors harrassed me and my friends as well, and they just brush under the rug so to speak. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Friendliness: F Have a Question?

However, I think I honestly would have been happier at a smaller liberal arts college, since I was kind of lost at Stanford, and partied too much probably because it took away some of the stress. Too many giant lecture classes with TA's and professors who I had trouble understanding (didn't speak english clearly. Also it was definitely an extremely competitive atmosphere with lots of overachievers. I was used to being the "smartest kid" from a large public highschool where it wasn't cool to be smart (you had to hide it), and at Stanford I was immediateley intimidated by all the prep school kids who flaunted their intellect. I wish I had the confidence then that I do now, since I think I would have gotten more out of it educationally. However, people do tend to look at you with more respect when you tell them you graduated from Stanford, so a Stanford degree obviously carries a lot of clout in the real world. I do recommend high school students visit the school and don't get carried away by it's reputation - since if I had visited schools, I think I might have made a different choice. But it all worked out for me, so I can't complain! Interestingly none of my kids chose to apply to Stanford although I think they probably would have gotten in.
