[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pick Stanford over Harvard any day and I’m a New Englander who loves Boston. I think Stanford sounds like a much more fun and dynamic place to be. And the weather is Palo Alto is amazing[/quote]

Yeah, I always wanted to be an undergrad on a campus bordered by a mall, a mausoleum, a high school, and a golf course![/quote]

Harvard campus: 209 acres
Stanford campus: 8180 acres[/quote]

Not sure what your point is, but, to me, a campus that is integrated into an urban environment is a “much more fun and dynamic place to be” than one that is huge and creates a real time/convenience barrier to going anywhere that isn’t controlled by the school.  [/quote]

You should visit Stanford, and Palo Alto, before your comment again.  [/quote]

I have visited Stanford a number of times (and within the last few years).  You may prefer its suburban country club feel to a campus like Harvard’s (obviously I don’t), but it’s hard to argue persuasively that its environs are fun & dynamic for an undergrad without a car.[/quote]

As I said, visit Stanford and Palo Alto.  If you had you’d know it is an easy stroll and an incredibly lovely commerical area with theaters, shops, bars, bookstores, and some of the best restaurants in the country.  None of it “under the control” of the school.[/quote]
