Re: Stanford vs. MIT.
The level of work is the same, but there's a perception that Stanford students are far more laid back. Not true. Have you heard the saying, "Stanford students are like ducks on a pond"? The pond looks so placid and calm in the sunlight, but beneath the surface, those ducks are paddling like mad just to stay afloat.
The student culture and the campus feel of MIT and Stanford are very, very different. I hope your son had a chance to visit both places. |
