<p>You must’ve overlooked the “It’s a stereotype, but it tends to be true.” part of my post. But it’s a fact. In the context of this post, fun = going out and partying as that’s what the OP implied to be their idea of a good time. Yeah Stanford kids have fun too, but doing other things, which is totally normal and fine. I wasn’t criticizing Stanford. </p>
<p>It’s kind-of hard for a parent to speak on the matter based on theory and how it “should” turn out every year, whereas we (students/residents) live it daily.</p>
<p>But regardless, yes both Hecht and Stanford are equally well-run residential colleges full of fun and amazing experiences. The freshman residential experience overall is truly great, regardless of which residential college you live in.</p>
