Thank you so much @thehaakun you’re extremely helpful!
I also wanted to know, what is the SF-Stanford connection like? I mean is it a hassle to take a weekend excursion to SF w/ some friends? I’m asking because originally, I kinda wanted to go to college in a major city (Columbia, lol), but after a Stanford acceptance I’m more than willing to compromise that. I would still love to experience some of the unique cultural gems a city offers tho (I grew up in the suburbs… Although a 40 minute commute to downtown is normal for work, it is a pain for everything else).
