<p>As a Stanford student, I may be biased. But this is what I tell all my friends: its four years of your life. You can not weigh money against your college years. So choose a place that you know you will love. And if you get the chance to visit during admit weekend. I guarantee you will fall in love with this place (ironically, I am writing this in the midst of the worst period of the quarter… midterms. yuck. haha).</p>
