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.

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.

Amazing College for this Course!
Tips: This is an amazing place to learn and study if you are looking for a place to excel in your course knowledge. This is the place to go for. But also have a good SAT score so that you will get enough scholarship as the tuition fee is quite high when compared to other universities. Also, this is the best university in my opinion.
Likes (Safety): In this college, you will have amazing safety for the students as there will be a lot of rules and norms to follow. The foreign students feel amazing here because of the safety. There will be a lot of centers to go. The university has friendly people. All the students are friendly to the foreign students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There were no Indian restaurants to start with. Even if I found one, it was expensive in terms of cost. This is the only reason that I didn't go to any Indian restaurant, instead I go to a Chinese restaurant. Also, I have saved some money to buy groceries and cook for myself.

Stanford University has friendly and helpful faculty and management.
Tips: Before joining Stanford University, students should know that the college is strict but friendly as well. College life is a combination of academic, social, and personal growth that students experience. I found student life at Stanford to be a bit uneasy at first, but it eventually turned out to be a good experience. I liked spending time with my friends on the bus ride to and from campus each day, and I enjoyed interacting with both my friends and the faculty. The events at Stanford were a mix of traditional and cultural events. College life will be a transformative experience that offers a variety of experiences and opportunities for personal growth. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
