Other than a campus visit, is there a way to talk to a student on campus?
I used Callthere to talk to students at Stanford. The number is in the app.
You could also ask if any students from your high school have gone there, and ask for their contact info- or try asking family/friends.
Current student here.
I’m happy to answer questions about Stanford.
Also current student here happy to answer questions. There are some threads here with students willing to answer anything.
Once admitted, usually admins who are students create a facebook group for all the admits. Those admins are also great resources for questions.
