“From a Harvard student who has visited Stanford: Harvard has an East-coast atmosphere of ambition and ceaseless activity, whereas I felt like Stanford has a more laid-back, West-coast intellectual sort of vibe. They appeal to very different people. Just my two cents.”

I went to Harvard for undergrad, and spent a year in grad school at Stanford, and I agree with the above.

In addition, if one likes sunny skies and less urban congestion, head to Stanford. If one likes 4 seasons, and doesn’t mind lots of cloudy days, head to Harvard.
