"The college is great overall for undergraduate and graduate studies. I would definitely recommend students to apply. They have an alive social clubs and activities around the campus."

"School is big and impersonal in the CS dept. Sometimes there is an overemphasis on work over learning. Overall, however, courses are well taught and my comrades are interested and intelligent."

"Stanford has been difficult, but rewarding. Sometimes, however, it feels like University-sanctioned services intentionally rip-off students which is why I have underrated affordability of living. It is also often hard to get off of campus, and there is not much to do off of campus in the immediate surrounding area."

"The pros are that it's one of the best universities world-wide, it has the best professors and the most advanced research groups, it receives all the attention from the industry and it collects the best students from the whole world. The cons are that they expect you to compete at best of your strenght all the time, and everyone is ready to pass you and leave you behind. In a friendly way, sure, no backstabbing or anything, and the faculty and staff is available for help, but in the end you're on your own and if you stop it's your fault. Also, it's very expensive and it is in a very expensive area. But hopefully it will be worth it."

"One of the best departments in Computer Science(CS) with groups that are leaders in most of the CS research areas and close connections with the industry."

"The network and career opportunities are excellent. Professors are engaged and knowledgeable. The affordability is not great, but the number of companies that actively recruit on campus probably makes up for that in the long run."

"Pros: - Quality academic and social experience, as would be expected from a top-tier graduate program - Attracts talent and unmatched "energy" from being the major university that resides in the heart of silicon valley Cons: - Probably not as diverse as nearly UC Berkeley - In a fairly expensive area with high living costs"

"I'm doing the program remotely through the center for professional development and it's a great experience. The classes I have taken so far bring in the remote students completely. It doesn't feel as if you are a second-hand student who is just piggybacking on the material."

"Classes are big, but getting to work with other intelligent, motivated students makes up for it. The school is very focused on helping grads find a job after graduation, and being in Silicon Valley is a huge advantage."

"I can only think of pros in this case. The grad program in computational mathematics is great not only because of the content of the courses but also because of the range of topics to choose from based on your career interests and also because of the great support network from alumni and pros."
