A very prestigious university situated in the heart of Silicon Valley. Stanford rocks infinitely more than Harvard or MIT in the humanities, sciences, engineering, and especially life in general. Great exit opportunities, cutting edge research, and first-rate academics are just a few of the benefits at Stanford. It is the most complete university out there, and may very well be the quintessential school for the 21st century.
MIT student: Stanford is easy as hell. Its Computer Science classes cannot compare to our intense 6.170 and its biology classes remind me of home ec.
Stanford student: Pssh...when all is said and done, just know that at the end of the day I will have better grades, better employment opportunities, better connections, and better friends than douchebags like you. You'll have to lie on your resume just to be as employable as me.

Get the stanford mug.I love how people bash Stamford,CT for being a "ghetto" and having lots of diversity. I wonder how Stamford compares to Greenwich when it comes down to kids being raised by nannies because their mothers are to busy getting drunk at Greenwich Country Club. I don't think to much of that goes on in Stamford because unfortunately for us, there is no country club, DARNIT! Yea, our public schools are rough, but we make it through, and we're better people for it. Greenwich HIgh is a joke! The same goes for Darien High, New Canaan High, and all those other surrounding towns who love to "Stamford and Norwalk Bash" because we have some diviersity. Atleast we're not narrow minded rich kids with nothing better to do then sit around, get drunk, and buy some cocaine with our allowance that Dad gave us on Sunday after church.

Get the Stanford mug.Take Harvard's undergraduate experience, Princeton's academic rigor and Yale's beautiful, rich, Protestant women. Now add a GOOD football team, a beautiful beach and sunny, 75+ degree weather everyday. Finally, take all of this and multiply it by 50. The equation yields the greatest college on earth. Some describe Stanford as the academic Mecca of every determined and dedicated student.
The admission process is extremely, extremely competitive. Many students with perfect GPAs and SAT scores are not offered admission each and every year. With that being said, Stanford becomes a touchy subject of discussion for many Ivy League students because they would much rather spend their collegiate years in California.
I am still upset that I did not get in; I'm literally freezing my balls off at Harvard and it's the middle of April.

Get the Stanford mug.A place that is, in fact, three places. There is the center, full of commerce. The middle ring has the normal, suburban living. The outer ring is a waste land, which few venture to. Most living there have careers elsewhere and commute or support the infrastructure that the commuters live on. It's a dull place, where teenagers are either having sex or are completely bored out of their minds. Adults plan to retire there. Fredricksburg students who want a hope for the future generally transfer to Stafford County High Schools.

Get the Stamford Hill Cowboy mug.The region in Stamford above the Merritt Parkway. Usually people from North Stamford go to Westhill, King, Fairfield Prep, and occasionally boarding school. North Stamford can be equated to Shippan, yet it is in the woods instead of on the water. The upside is that there are many places to blaze that are not hotboy, unlike Shippan. The downside is that you have to drive everywhere, and driving to parties sucks. Neighbors are also narcs, so you have to be careful when you have parties.
Is there anything goin on tonight in North Stamford?
Yea someones having a party on mayapple
