Whatsup fellow '10ers,

This thread is devoted to how much better Stanford is over the rest of the superelite colleges.

--BEST ATHLETICS PROGRAM in the country; Do i hear Director's Cup 13 years running?

--STRONGER PROGRAMS OVERALL; Excels at the most broadest subjects. While HYP are noted for particular areas, Stanford excels at them all

--DIVERSITY; no other college even comes close

--CALIFORNIA WEATHER; self-explanatory

--LOCATED IN A LOVELY AREA; vast, beautiful landscapes, San fransisco, not in some grimy urban area like yale

-- MOST HAPPIEST STUDENTS ranked #1 Check princetonreview.com

--EMPHASIZES INTANGIBLES, CHARACTER, diverse EC's, great perspectives like no other....you can't get in being a soulless person with a 2400 SAT

--LESS ELITISM than the ivy league, especially the bastion of preppy, elitist kids, princeton

--HOTTER students (than HYP) hands down; don't even try to argue

--BEST SOCIAL LIFE (Do i hear Moonsplash, Exotic Erotic, Full moon in the quad?) compare to harvard's "fun czar"

--GREAT FINANCIAL AID; not stubborn like Yale's subpar finny aid offices

--MODERATE POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE I don't want to be only around raging liberals (yale), nor do i want to be surrounded by hardcore conservatives (pton)

--NICEST ADMINISTRATION I've heard so many good things about them. They actually care about the students. Not elitist or unapproachable like some at Harvard and Yale

--LAID BACK ATMOSPHERE just more relaxing, not crazy competitive as if it's the end of the world....chill, enjoy life

--BETTER CALENDER a quarter system means I can take more classes, go abroad without screwing everything up. Why do you think a third of stanford students can go abroad?

--BETTER OVERSEAS OPPURTUNITIES; probably because of the reason directly above

--ENTREPENEURSHIP ATTITUDE; We are going to change the world and make a difference

Stanford is a sick school. I hope we will see each other in 2006. Enjoy the holidays!
