Charlene's Review

Review of Stanford University

from Sandy, UT

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

The sheer diversity of classes is amazing and the quarter system means that you have the opportunity to take a lot of them without overloading youself

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The students are amazing and so are the professors!

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Places like UCLA are just as expensive for an out of state student but the research opportunities and general class sizes are much smaller. Stanford is worth every penny

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be yourself in your application. Stanford really is looking for students that will bring something unique (themselves!) to campus

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Stanford is great for students who are serious about their schoolwork and passionate about their interests and love a collaborative environment. Stanford definately more relaxed than comparable east coast schools and that fosters creativity and an open community. So its perfect for students who might have felt a bit restricted by their highschool for whatever reason. It is a chance to grow and explore and have plenty of support if that brilliant idea of yours is begging to be more than just an idea in your head.
