It's not the Stanford (or Harvard, or USC, or Ohio State) education that really matters -- it's the people you meet. Going to a school that's a nexus for your industry puts you around people who are driven and knowledgeable about similar topics and is what leads to professional growth and opportunities.
(This is something that online education misses entirely and will largely never be able to replicate.)
