Should I go to Stanford University or Harvard University?

Harvard is more urban and convenient, close to shops and restaurants and other colleges, but less pretty and less temperate in weather. Stanford has newer but smaller dorm rooms, and most students change dorms every year whereas Harvard students live in the same House for 3 years, which can be a good or bad thing.

What is it like to be a Stanford student?

Stanford students are more collaborative and inclusive. They compete with themselves more than with each other, striving to do better for personal pride and meaningful goals rather than position in an academic rat race. While I’m sure that this is true for many Harvard students, there were too many noticeable caveats where it was not.
