<p>In the grand scheme of things, students should consider themselves pretty damn lucky if these are the main complaints. Stanford students don’t have to deal with libraries and majors being cut (as at UC schools), impacted majors (UCs), classes being huge and difficult to get into (UCs), extreme stress and sometimes poor hygiene (MIT), lack of adequate social spaces (Harvard), isolation (Cornell, Dartmouth), a limited/stifling social scene (Caltech or LACs), an elitist social scene (Princeton), etc.</p>
<p>And IMO the positives of Stanford make most of the complaints pretty insignificant anyway.</p>
