Many thanks again, @thehaakun! This is all so helpful! Do you think every student needs a bike—approximately what percentage of Stanford undergrads use bikes, and do they bike everywhere, or do plenty of students walk to classes together?
I probably shouldn’t have used the term “residential colleges,” but that’s how I conceptualized them after I read this article about new housing for undergrads that will be available in 2016:
From this article, it sounds like Stanford is making a concerted effort to facilitate socializing through well-designed residential spaces. What do you think of this, and how does it differ from what currently exists? I really like that Stanford seems to have perceived an area that could use improvement and is taking action!
Thanks again for all your great answers!
