<p>We visited CalTech & Stanford. We found the massive size of Stanford to be an issue for us (our kids have stamina issues & the campus is really sprawling). For CalTech, we liked the neighborhood, but D was very troubled by the vulgarity & crudeness of the graffetti she saw throughout the dorm area, as well as the rundown condition of their housing. It is good to be able to speak with students at the campuses and I suspect there are few there at CalTech during summer break.</p>
