<p>stanford is overrated</p>
<p>i dont understand why its put on the same level as HYP</p>
<p>to me, its always been just another good university</p>
<p>Just like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. And Penn. And Brown, and Cornell, and Chicago . . . the list goes on.</p>
<p>don't forget to add Berkeley as well :p</p>
<p>I do agree with you, although I don't mind people thinking it's amazing. One can get an amazing education here, but sometimes it is tough, and it probably takes a bit more effort here than at other "top" schools.</p>
<p>The name brand phenomenon is interesting, but often prevents students from going where they will be happiest and perform best.</p>
