 " Overall great school. I really like the environment and the campus activities. The only area of improvement that I can think of is that there needs to be more parking near the dormitories. The on-campus food options are pretty good compared to what my friends talk about at their schools. "

 " It's very difficult to get in but once you have been accepted, the system in place will do everything it can to help you succeed and earn that degree. Being on the quarter system as opposed to semesters, the curriculum feels accelerated and it's easy to get left behind with even the slightest bit of inattentiveness. It's a terrific school. Depending on the teacher, they can make a really welcoming environment that not always seen on zoom. Most STEM classes are exactly what I imagine them to be. "

 " Stanford is one of the best universities in the world, and for good reason. Everyone here is brilliant and the resources are incredible. The only drawback is the cost, both in terms of tuition and in terms of cost of living in the Bay Area. "

 " Challenging school, feels like a lot of pressure put on you but the community is very sociable and not too intimdating. It was harder for me to communicate with my professors at first and mostly relied on my TAs and my field of study was intimidating at first especially knowing people like Larry page and others were in my same position and ended up making great contributions to the CS field, I felt like I needed to fill the same shoes.
