[quote=Anonymous]I was at Stanford for grad school and dd at Yale for undergrad. Can’t compare the undergrad experiences because just don’t know much about them but to be honest I’m no fan of Palo Alto. Yes, the weather IS nice. But PA and really the whole peninsula is flat, boring, ugly, insanely overpriced, and has the worst traffic you can imagine. I kind of love the cities that are turning themselves around as New Haven seems to be doing, though there is certainly probably more crime in the area. But college choice shouldn’t be about the weather/city- at peer schools like this should really be about program strength and campus environment. Stanford is famously nirvana for the innovators, tech focused etc. Yale is a beautiful old school with loads of traditions and a sting focus on community. If a kid thinks they have a shot at both think about which of those sounds like the better fit.[/quote]
