<p>who makes sure anybody here is a stanford student?</p>
<p>trust me, i was pretty shocked myself when i read these comments.
i'll agree, you can't simply take these comments for face value and make your decision based on it, but they do provide startling insight into Stanford's engineering and science programst. i personally think that these are actual comments from students and alumni, because there were also many humanities and social sciences majors who loved their experience at Stanford. If these really are Stanford students, then most of the commentors are either really biased, or are really telling the truth.</p>
