I’m making this video to answer one of the most asked questions from the Campus Crawl series “Harvard University versus Stanford University, which one is better?”
Btw if you are new, Campus Crawl is a series where I take you to the top universities in the world and show you the student day in the life, and of course, the college campus!
So after visiting Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, Yale, Brown, NYU, UCLA and UC Berkeley and interviewing dozens of students, I think now I have a good enough understanding of what makes a great university experience. Harvard and Stanford both definitely rank at the top. If you get admitted to either university, congratulations!!

Stanford proves you can have it all. Great academics, great high paying job prospects, great athletics, and great to decent weather as it does get mildly cold in the winter, but no extremes. I believe that Stanford is the Harvard of the future, maybe even of the now. Stanford is only 135 years old while Harvard is 384 and are right there with Harvard Academically. That says a lot. Stanford is catching up to Harvard on global recognition, but again Harvard has a 249 year head start.

[@khupho7]

"again Harvard has a 249 year head start". So you think older age is a disadvantage? Don't think it as a competition. Think it as a tradition. New schools can be founded and develop the way Stanford or MIT are doing. But the first school is still the first school. Nothing can change. Harvard is like JP Morgan and Stanford is like Google. Yes, it's new and growing fast. But look at Yahoo and Nokia. New tech was born and replaced the old easily. So don't underestimate the old that still can stand today. I call it legacy and tradition. By the way, today Silicon Valley Bank collapsed today lol I feel like Stanford is on trend recent years. People are talking about tech too much and forget humanities.

Stanford student here. The only thing I would add that I think you missed is living in silicon valley is one of the most expensive places to live in the US. I think the Stanford bubble is more a result of how expensive it is to go anywhere else for something fun. But there are plenty of amazing things to do in silicon valley... if you can afford them. Also I find it funny you had Mark Zuckerberg as a famous Harvard alum speaker in the video since he lives and works in silicon valley you actually have a better chance of finding him around Stanford 😂

[@sakurapotomac]

It really depends on what fields you want to study or which professors you'd like to work with . Our son went to Stanford for undergraduate and MS, now doing PhD at Harvard. We have experienced both Harvard and Stanford Universities for the past six years, and I agree with you, Hafu. If you are a science/math kid, no school can hardly beat Stanford, although Harvard has some tie with MIT. If you are liberal art student, both are good. If you are a serious athlete, definitely go to Stanford. Our son was a "walk on athlete" at Stanford and became one of the Team USA athletes. I don't think it happened if he chose Harvard. Stanford coaches know how to train Olympic athletes. You can be a Rhode Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa, All American and an Olympian in one life, it is possible at Stanford, but probably not at Harvard. The other places you may want to look at also are Oxford and Cambridge, I think. One last advice is don't let tuition or scholarship decide your school. You are not buying some product here. You are choosing what you wish to achieve in your academic life. Climb your Everest. Good luck.

My dad majored in economics at stanford, and the education you het is pretty similar to Harvard’s.

They did their undergrad years at stanford and their grad years at harvard
