Quarter System vs Semester System
Tips: Stanford runs on a quarter system, which is very different from the semester system and if any student is coming from a semester-system university, they should definitely consider the academic pace quarter system have. As you will just start your quarter and you will have midterms in 2 weeks.

One of the best schools in the world
Tips: Students should be wary of the duck syndrome, since everyone is here is extremely accomplished and driven and it be tough to constantly compare yourself to others who are doing a lot around you. I did not experience any cultural shift since I did undergraduate studies in the US, and there are plenty of people from India who also come here for degrees.

Grateful
Tips: Yes, there is a massive cultural shift and it's a change that you genuinely need. I don't have any scholarships but there are a ton that you can check out online. I am very grateful for this university. It's best of both world's. You get to learn a lot and also interact with people with whom you might create startups.
Likes (Student Life): Our campus has mix of both social and networking events. Most of my day is filled with classes, networking events and gym. On weekends there are events organized by various clubs on campus. There are various clubs here for every ethnicity and diversity.
Dislikes (Public transportation): There are buses here but apart from that you will either have to uber places or own a car. Campus is well connected, there are buses on campus but the timing could be way off and you will either have to bike or walk. Owing a bike is highly recommended.

BA in Art History - Batch of 2019
4.6
Stanford is great with good faculty and lots of opportunities.
Tips: Go to Stanford if you want to be around people who are creative risk-takers and highly ambitious. The spirit of entrepreneurship is very rich at Stanford. Take at least one class in coding as this will help you get more from Stanford regardless of your major. There is not enough good public transportation, SF is too far. Overall I am satisfied with the experience.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is good and highly qualified. Some lecturers are better than others. The art history department is too US-focused but this is changing. Centre for South Asia is slowly becoming more and more amazing. We love it. The faculty is overall approachable.

4.2
Stanford: Highly rewarding, very competitive and all-round growth
Tips: Cost: Stanford is expensive - both tuition and living expenses. Please check with the department and alumni regarding financial aid options before applying here. Competition: Stanford attracts the best talent from all around the world. At times, it can get super competitive and lead to anxiety, so be prepared to be challenged intellectually and socially. Cultural shift: Stanford and California in general, is known for its laid-back culture. Depending on where you're from, there might be weather changes, norms changes, and especially shifts in liberal social interactions.
Likes (Post study jobs): Alumni network: Stanford has a very strong alumni network which is very valuable for finding a job post-graduation. Stanford CareerEd offers many career-based services like Resume Review, connection to relevant individuals in the industry, interviewing skills, job hunting, etc. They also tailor the information according to your need - eg. Companies sponsoring visas, or in manufacturing sector, etc.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus internally is very well connected with Marguerite Shuttle, which is free to use for Stanford students. Outside the campus, there are public transport options like Caltrain and VTA available, but they do not cover all areas comprehensively, hence we have to rely on multiple modes of transport (like changing 3 buses to reach your destination) or personal vehicles. The cost of transportation like Caltrain can get a bit expensive for regular commuting, but can be affordable using Go passes.
