| im your complete opposite and hence am choosing (probably) to go to penn. it might be due to the fact that i was only there for AW, when parties are strictly controlled and alcohol forbidden, but i found stanford's social scene to be just what you're looking for. having said that, i do know that u can drink to your heart's content there and it wont be a big issue. also students insist (most of them, not all that i talked to) in that they really have tons of fun when its not AW. people there are awesome and really friendly and brilliant (you def wont have problem finding intellectual ppl there, u might find too many, but i think thats a good thing). its not like u dont party at stanford at all, but i think you'll def find what you're looking for |
