[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has a gorgeous campus and great access to SV tech companies.

As a STEM person who loves being outdoors, it's my ideal. [/quote]

Huh.  My DC is a STEM person who loves being outdoors and had the “sterile suburban environment” reaction to Stanford.  [/quote]

I loved it. The architecture. The weather - you can be outside almost every day of the year. I even like Palo Alto - cute little town. Beaches and mountains aren’t too far. Almost everyone I know who lives there is very athletic and runs/triathlons/skis/etc.

I ended up at a highly-rated STEM school in the Northeast. The architecture was also beautiful in a Gothic, old-school sort of way. The weather sucked though. And while there were plenty of opportunities for research and corporate collaboration, it didn’t have the crazy energy and innovation as SV. (I worked at a startup out there and spent some time on campus)

Anyway, just sharing what I loved about it. Obviously, it’s not for everyone. For me, it was my dream school.
