Campus Visit Notes for Stanford University:
Visit Description:
I was there for admit weekend. Stanford is ranked # 1 for happiest students and the students all seemed to be very happy. As I said before, they were also very nice, friendly and helpful.
The dorms are just ok. I thought the one room doubles were big enough, but I didn't like the bathrooms, especially the showers because there is not enough privacy. (Just a shower curtain, no doors and no changing area).
The campus is huge so a large percent of the student population ride bikes.
The food was good.
Overall, the campus was beautiful, the people were amazing and I felt very comfortable there.
