Why Stanford? and roommate questions

<p>Well I've gotten to the question on the application asking why I want to got to Stanford. I'm not sure what they are looking for. Also I would like to know more about stanford so anyone who has info on it, I would appriciate some help.</p>

<p>The question about what you want your roommate to know about you has stumped me. Anyone know what sort of things they are looking for?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>explore their website and read student reviews to get a sense of stanford. if you know nothing about it, why do you want to go?</p>

<p>for the roommate question i wrote more about what STANFORD should know about me, not really my rooommate</p>
