 " Stanford is counted among the best for a reason. I loved attending here. I think at the end of the day it comes down to the kind of connections you make, the opportunities available, and the brand recognition. I'm having a very successful career post graduation and I wouldn't trade my Stanford education for anything. "

 " Don't forget the feeling of when you get in because once you start becoming a regular student there, it's easy to forget how grateful you were for the opportunity to be here. It's important not to lose focus from who you are! "

 " Great university! Social scene is lacking being in the Palo Alto area. Staff are at the top of their fields and the facilities are state-of-the-art. However, not as fun as people make it out to be. Would recommend. "
