One thing to remember, you can go to Stanford and work insanely hard in a tough major and get a good job coming out of college or you can slack off and skate through. In other words, Stanford is what you make. 6 months before you graduate.. you are bound to get bugged by fortune 500 companies... thats what makes stanford different.

The Stanford Aero/Astro department has a fantastic reputation both in industry and in academia. I do have the feeling, however, that it is "coasting" rather than actively seeking to improve itself. While we have a large number of faculty, many are now emeritus and relatively few maintain large, active research groups. I'm fortunate to be part of one of the best research groups in our department. It is very difficult to offer general feedback about the PhD experience since it is closely tied to a successful relationship with one's research advisor. To be honest, I struggled for a year or two, but I've recently really enjoyed my experience here. In retrospect, I took things too seriously at the beginning. Stanford is best enjoyed with a relaxed attitude. (Of course, you'll still have to work hard. However, our department has a great reputation for its collegiality. And, most students have time for "a life" after they've passed the PhD qualifying exams.) One comment that you'll hear from nearly all of the grad students in the Stanford Aero/Astro department is that it is very tough to obtain funding within the department. How do students survive? 80%-90% of my colleagues have obtained "outside" fellowships from NSF, NDSEG, etc. In fact, I would never have come to Stanford without an NSF fellowship. In contrast, it is much easier to find funding at any of the other top aero/astro departments. This is due in-part to our lack of an undergraduate program and, as a result, very few teaching assistantships available for graduate students. Dec 11 2007 Aerospace Engineering

Housing and cost of living are a BIG problem. With the economy slowing down it has gotten better, but it is still one of the most expensive places in the world. Mar 17 2003 Math
