Hi,
So here's my situation:
-For the 2008-09 academic year, I was accepted to Stanford, Michigan, and Maryland for EE MS/PhD studies. I visited Michigan. Decided based on reputation and the advising of some professors that Stanford was the best bet for me.
-I accepted my admission to Stanford and then ended up deferring for a year (to continue working)
-I'm now definitely going out there in this Fall to start the program
I really want to go visit the campus now just to see it, but it's a fairly large expense (probably ~800 or so for a few days). At the moment I'm thinking it's not worth it. I'm wondering if there's solid justification for a visit.. anyone have any thoughts as to why I ought to visit?
Thus far I have:
-Meet professors
-Meet staff
-See housing
-Attend a class
(I'm really looking for reasons to go check it out... :-) )
Thanks,
J
