So visited Stanford today. There were some things I really liked and some things I didn’t. I took notice of how friendly everyone was and the campus was just so beautiful. It was very cheery(?) if that’s the word I could use. I wasn’t sure how keen I was on the huge campus and probably having to bike to class everyday (although some people do walk I guess). I noticed what a huge connection they have to Silicon Valley.
I really want NYC and the cultural experiences it offers, but at the same time it seems Stanford gives me more opportunities for my major. Yet, I think Columbia does a really good job for CS also. It’s just so confusing?? I’ve always dreamed of NYC and now everyone is telling me Stanford, but its hard to make sure its the right “fit” for me, especially since Columbia I thought was a great fit for me (minus the Core and transfer issues I’m having).
