[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think it's pretty clear at this point that one goes to Stanford undergrad for the connections and not the experience. The fun nerd vibe of the 90s is a long time ago. Stanford and Palo Alto are extremely transactional. If a student doesn't vibe with that, they will be miserable.

Multi-generational Stanford family here. I don't personally care, but Stanford is not interesting presently. They made some poor choices. Stanford has the resources to be an intellectual hub for everything. But they went all in with tech corporate groupthink and as a consequence Stanford undergrad is walk-on-eggshells boring. Students suck it up for four years. Get the resume boost. And get their little jobs in private equity or venture capital

Lame

Avarice is what defines Stanford these days[/quote]

Not just Stanford, but the trend at all major US universities is toward more tech/STEM.  These students tend to be more entrepreneurial and goal focused than the typical liberal arts/intellectual types.

So a tech/STEM major is not an intellectual type.  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

(In fact, STEM majors are more intellectual than "the typical liberal arts/intellectual types".)[/quote]
