Stanford Campus Looks Like Taco Bell and is Ugly

If DC gets into Stanford, I'll be happy to pay for "Taco Bell building design".

Can we stop using this terminology, it's racist.

You either vibe with private equity and venture capital, or you don't. Absolutely no one in those communities cares about Taco Bell comparisons.

If you do care about architecture and style, California missions are where it's at. Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Carmel, Santa Cruz.

Absolutely no one is seeking out Stanford for the aesthetics.

The corporate vibe is very suburban office park.

Earlier someone posed an unanswered question related to other franchise restaurants, including Chick-Fil-A.

I just went down a rabbit hole looking at the founder's architectural preferences.

Check out the mid-century-modern home of the original sandwich.

Is Stanford actually in the process of overtaking all other US universities? Or is that just tech industry BS?

Overtaking no? But they do have a top 5 ranked CS, Law school, Business School, Econ, Engineering, Psych, English, History, Political Science, and Sociology program. While also producing many olympians and a bulk of the Silicon Valley/AI types.

Return once your kid gets in. Until then, not an issue to be concerned with.

This is idiotic. You think no one can have opinions about anything unless they have a kid who is admitted to the institution? Stop gatekeeping and get out of this thread if it doesn't interest you.

I hate their stupid joke of a marching band.
