Stanford is a census-designated place (CDP) in the northwest corner of Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is the home of Stanford University, after which it was named. The CDP's population was 21,150 at the 2020 census.[3] Stanford is adjacent to the city of Palo Alto, which borders it to the east, but the CDP itself remains unincorporated.

- depends on your major, interests, study habits. i know eecs majors who struggle in r1a classes and polsci majors who do well in bio classes.
- lwk its not that bad as long as you stay on top of your work
- dont let the competition/grind culture/impostor syndrome get to you
- dont bite off more than you can chew
also i will say for some classes the way they teach things is a little uh
convoluted
esp math/cs
like not hard just differently than other schools
desert pewter
Ok
so it dosent have the special "I want to die" sauce
and Ill be fine as long as I dont procrastinate too much
