Stanford vs. UPenn

<p>god thank youuuu i thought i was the only one. i am undecided as well and this sucks. however, i think i can answer a few of those questions. i’ll leave most for actual students, but i learned at AW that

  1. drinking is NEVER a problem (although AW is dry, ppl i met convinced me that during the year no one cares if you drink)
    2.dorms. penn has ****ty dorms. i stayed at west lag while at stanford and also saw branner or whatever its called, a house but idk its name, and the common room of zapata. west lag rooms are tiny (about the same as hill’s tho) but the dorm complex itself is gorgeous. i would say stanford dorms (at least some, the ones i saw for sure) are a hotel when compared to penn’s.
  2. poli sci dept.-stanford’s is one of the best, top rated. of course penn’s poli sci is really good. but apparently there’s HYPS>then Penn. its up to you to decide if rankings will make you happy.
  3. stanford’s campus is paradise but i like being in a city. thats just me though</p>

<p>i still dont know where im going. i loved penn for ages and will prob end up there cos its closer. ahhhhh i cant make decisions though stanford is awesome</p>
