stanford summer?

<p>hi so im looking into taking courses at stanford over the summer. What is life like at stanford over the summer? are there parties/events or is it just pure work all the time? how is food/dorming there? what is the town like? would u recommend taking courses here or somewhere else? i dont go to stanford but want to experience palo alto/ a new environment for the summer. i want it to be fun but also productive.
ps- i have the same questions for UCB if anyone can answer thatd be great!!</p>
