<p>What is the social scene like at Stanford? Does Stanford get famous people for concerts and the end of a quarter, or have some fun traditions?</p>
<p>Fountain hopping! I happened to be there around the time it was happening (not a student). Yeah, it was crazy (and looked like fun!) and my dad freaked out.</p>
<p>is it really that bad. i watched this documentary that mentioned it but never showed it. haha.</p>
<p>Famous come here all the time so give lectures/speeches. Bill Gates was here a couple of weeks ago. Last Q I remember Paul Farmber, Natalie Portman etc.

<p>The social scene is pretty lively.</p>
<p>There are a lot of weird traditions here. I won’t spoil them all but one is “full moon on the quad”, where you basically just try to make out with a lot of people in the main quad at midnight in October.</p>
