A very rich and prestigious university in Palo Alto, California. Quite possibly soon going to eclipse Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc for the title of most competitive USA college. Students come from all over the USA and the world to live in this palm lined elegance that is called Stanford. The best and most beautiful private school in the entire world.
Idiot: Hey I'm applying to Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Columbia.
Smart kid: Rejected from Stanford ??
Idiot: (crying) Yeah, just shut up about it! (crying more)

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.

A place in California which looks strikingly like an enormous Mexican restauraunt. Also, an astoundingly expensive, premier (elitist) university with some brilliant minds and a party scene as dead as any Darwin award winner.
Trust fund son one: "Did I really spend my entire life working to get in here?"
Trust fund son two: "Yeah man, Stanford is lamer than my grandma on life support. Well, at least we don't smell half as bad as Berkeley."

To do the stanford you have to hang around members of the opposite sex, and make sure they are drunk. When they are suitably drunk, you take advantage of them, and later claim to have been equally if not more drunk.
Will: Man, I need some gash.
Mark: Me too, but getting girls is such effort.
Will: F**** it, lets do the stanford!
Mark: Hell yeah!
