<p>So I have the above decision to make, and I would appreciate it if people who have visited Stanford give me feedback since I have never been there. I applied because from everything I've heard about it, it just fit my college recs--Stanford was especially recommended by my counselor.
About myself: I'm Korean coming from sort of preppy-NY school though I really hate that label; I'm into skilled sports (like most Asians) like Tennis, Basketball, etc...
I'm not the party-animal type; I like to spend my weekends seeing sights or a movie,playing pick-up games rather than going to the major rave off campus.
I do love to support sports teams, which is part of why I chose Stanford--the athletic spirit is great.
And I do study like crazy, but I prefer to be loose and keep a low-profile.
B/c of college this year my social life is a wreckT_T, I'm trying to rebuild.
So all in all, is Stanford a good place for me?</p>
<p>yes. Stanford might help you to detox for grad school. :)</p>
<p>Both are great schools. </p>
<p>Since you like seeing sights, going to a movie, enjoying an active social, art and entertainment scene, then NYC will offer so much more than Palo Alto. Especially if this is how you unwind, relax and escape. </p>
<p>For sports and other aspects, Stanford. If you already live in NYC, then perhaps a change of scenery would do you well.</p>
<p>Based upon what you wrote, you totally belong at Stanford. Go for it!!</p>
<p>JIM!!!! It's darius (from your school). </p>
<p>Everyone i convinced him to go to STANFORD!</p>
