It's a very difficult choice. I interview students at both Stanford and MIT and have spent time on both campuses. They feel very different to me personally. I feel that you will gain more just from leaving your comfort zone and moving to a new place than simply picking based upon what the school has to offer. If you wind up picking Boston, make the most of it, say hi to me when I'm on campus, and make sure you take a bus/train/plane and spend some time in NYC while on the East coast :) (edit: Of course you can still say hi at Stanford, too!)
- mediumtrouble 13y agoI totally agree about picking up and trying to live in a new place. But all three of these schools do a pretty good job of letting students live in a bubble of sorts. The whole notion of leaving a comfort zone when going to one of them is different than say, moving to Nairobi.
- apaprocki 13y agoYeah, I've talked to people near Stanford, though, that had never even been to a city yet alone live in one. I'm just saying "baby steps". There is always time to take a semester abroad in Nairobi or go build houses in South Africa like one of my co-workers :)
