It's good if you like pizza.
Which you could find a ton of in any dining hall.
You've never been to Sally's, or Modern APizza, or Pepe's,
I've eaten pizza. Be for real. This isn't mind blowing stuff

I'd love to hear the opinions of all the students that were accepted to Stanford, Yale, and Harvard.
Is there one?
Or is this just another hypothetical discussion among clueless parents?
Accepted to Yale and Stanford. Didn't apply to Harvard - didn't interest me.
Chose Yale.
What made Harvard uninteresting to you? Was it related to a preferred academic subject, or perhaps campus life?
Probably the low acceptance rate. It is funny that posters like this pretend that they rejected Harvard by not applying.

One striking attribute of their students is how emo and emotionally unwell they seem (along with physically unwell, if we're being totally honest), compared to other ivies and non-ivy elite privates (stanford, duke, etc.). What happened, exactly?
I'm sorry Yale rejected your kid but there are healthier ways to cope. Yale is doing just fine. So are the Yalies.

You're clearly not very educated on pizza, or food, or a lot of things.

+1 The level of crime in and around the Yale campus is concerning.

food in new haven is superior to PA and Cambridge
stanford especially feels like going to school at a taco bell. It's mega cringe when you walk around.
stanford is definitely the most overrated t10 campus experience.
This has to be an actual joke
I’ve lived in the Bay Area ( including Palo Alto when I was a student at Stanford) and had kid recently at Yale, can confirm New Haven is a terrific food town. I see why some people are impressed by Stanford campus, I certainly was when I first arrived. It lost its allure for me pretty quickly, especially once I saw Berkeley. I think people who love Stanford will probably also swoon over Princeton ( both in wealthy suburban enclaves) but that’s not the environment everyone wants. Based on my DD’s experience I’d take take Yale all day of the schools you mentioned
New Haven is nowhere near the level of food culture in SF, this is just ridiculous.
Look I get that New Haven has a few good pizza spots, but let’s not get delusional over it.
You’re right, NH does not equal SF. But it’s also way way more than “a few good pizza spots.” That’s just silly provincialism. FWIW Palo Alto doesn’t equal SF either.
if you equate stanford to SF, you clearly don't belong in this thread. PA is not next to SF like say Cambridge is to Boston.

You could fit 10 Princeton’s inside of Stanford and you’d still have space for 3 more!

It is enormous. They also own lots of land around the campus.
