This is my first day of college at Stanford...
I was recently there to film Campus Crawl season two! This video is my first impressions of the Stanford University campus. I also interviewed Stanford students about their day in the life. What is it like studying there? Is it hard? Is everyone in software engineering? What's the student life like? What do you do on the weekends?
Overall I think Stanford is a great university if you're going to do research or to focus on studying. It's in Palo Alto California - a suburb area. There are literally no distractions. If you're thinking of studying Computer Science, definitely Stanford is your bet. There are so many high paying tech jobs in San Francisco. You have complete focus. Between Stanford and MIT though...I'd probably choose MIT. There's more to do around there and students there seem more geeky, which I love. But these are just my opinions from being there for a couple of days and talking to students. I don't study there so maybe it's different during the semester. I urge you to do your own research and find out the best fitting college for yourself. This video should only be one of many resources.

I’m a Stanford graduate. It was great to see the campus again.

[@changyuru8047]

This is another one of my favorites. Good job, Hafu.

[@angelinaheller8708]

as somebody from the Bay Area, there's nice things to do! you can visit the ocean (~20 min), hike in beautiful forests (~20 min ) in half moon bay or pescadero, visit malls, museums, downtowns. It's probably like any other sprawling suburban area.

[@user-rr3eo2zj6d]

I really appreciate your opinion. Finally something that feels real :) the whole idea of the life feeling slow was actually a very valuable insight for me as I’m considering bw Stanford and other schools and prefer the fast life as well

[@leannchew5192]

Luv your honest opinion soo much ,this makes me have new perspective about Stanford .Hope Yale is on the list too😀

whenever i hear stanford i think: *high school musical 3*

[@AdiSidapara]

bro are u joking? you visited campus during the summer.......... can't judge a school to be too slow when school hadn't started yet

[@hafu]

It’s the area of Palo Alto that’s slow. Also it’s not my opinion alone, student there also had the same thought.

[@AdiSidapara]

So your sample size is 1 and you judged the entire school for it? Seems like some math that would be valid at Berkeley

[@hussein9466]

Adi Sidapara Bro stfu why are you tryna start an argument

[@1joaootavio]

It's not completely slow, HOWEVER it can't be compared to much more crowded and urban campus (sometimes even in the city's downtown area), like universities in Boston, New York, etc.

[@AdnanKhan1428]

Yep, totally agree. Stanford is too slow, that’s why I picked ASU :))) (that’s what I’m gonna tell myself from now on). Jokes apart, the calm at Stanford is deceptive. The Duck metaphor is very much at play here ... calm and placid on the surface, while furiously paddling underwater.

[@chaitalisarkar2945]

Should we start applying to colleges before we finish final exams of senior year high school or we should apply after we finish senior year high school final exams???

[@carlos-alcantar]

As far as being a domestic student goes, you generally start working on college apps the summer after junior year final exams. You can do your entire application the week before it’s due…but that’s not a fun decision 😅
