<p>Hey everybody. I need a little help on a college decision. I got into Stanford and Harvard (yay) but I can't make up my mind where to go between the two.</p>

<p>I love Stanford. I know that it's an amazing school (top 4 in nation), and is laid-back and fun. I'll also be a 3rd generation. I'm pretty sure i'll have a great time.</p>

<p>But then there's Harvard. I love Boston, and would like to go to the East Coast. The education is obviously top-notch and Harvard is... well Harvard. The only question I have with Harvard is whether ill enjoy it. I've heard some stories about people not liking Harvard because it was too stressful/competitive and was no fun.</p>

<p>Can people who go or went to either of the schools help me out? Any advice from anybody would help. Thanks</p>

<p>Same exact decision here and having a similarly tough time deciding.</p>

<p>RC are you going to the visiting weekend? If so which one (theyre the same weekend)? And where are you from? I live in San Diego.</p>

<p>I am from New York.</p>

<p>I do not think that I can attend the Stanford weekend on such short notice and with a busy schedule. I will be attending the Harvard weekend. However, I did visit Stanford last year and absolutely loved the campus.</p>
