<p>I live mere streets away from Stanford, and the commute to the city is only about 40 mins by car and you could also take the train. But really, the Menlo Park area is incredible and beautiful. Except the airport, everything–including Stanford shopping mall, which is quite pretty–is in walking distance of Stanford.</p>
<p>For your next question, my cousin is currently attending Stanford and literally has no idea what he wants to pursue, but Stanford has been really accommodating and acceptive.</p>
