Stanford.

I visited Harvard. I absolutely loved it.

At the same time, I live in California, I have parents who both went to Stanford and relatives who have done the same. ALL of them were into physics and math, every single one was completely satisfied with going there then and where they are now.

I stayed around Harvard for a while, the people were wonderful. I liked the buildings and campus a lot, although I’m biased towards that because I’ve seen Stanford my entire life.

But at Stanford, everyone’s still a superhero. Except everyone’s extremely laid-back, but ambitious at the same time.

There’s virtually no competition, and you’re still getting a high quality education.

I’d say almost everything is virtually the same (or maybe not the same, but just as good), except the lack of competition and weather at Stanford. It sounds like, at least for sure, the weather’s already important to you. Go for it, go to Stanford.
