I've heard that there is no local night life- IE clubs- in Palo Alto, but there is more than enough to keep one busy and partyin it up on campus.
But as everyone knows, the SanFran scene is intense, and its always available.

Some of the people on this thread have been mentioning SF as a plus, but I've actually heard that it's rather hard to go to SF from Stanford (over an hour and hard to find transportation) and most students stay on campus. Supposedly, it's pretty self-contained. This is from a recent Stanford grad and most of the college guides I've read. I don't think they allow freshmen to have cars also, so it would be hard to get off campus.

an hour's not too bad if you're planning a day trip or something, but yeah, I've heard people stay on campus a lot too.

Buying cigarettes when you turn 18?
No way, 18 just screams "Scratch Tickets!!!!"

Did you really just site the philosophical gourmet report as a highly respected proof? It's a contested ranking of graduate philosophy departments, only touching on the issue of research.

I question your assertions about diversity, whatever you mean by that, and political atmosphere.
