Lonepine Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) For those of you familiar with grad study at Stanford, I really need some input. Can Stanford humanities grad students lead interesting and fun social lives? Is social awkwardness and isolation the norm or the exception? Do people who are able to live in San Fran after year 2 do so? Some background on where you're coming from (or what prev. institution) would be useful. I'm having a really tough time choosing...

Usmivka Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 There is a thread that might be useful in the graduate life section.
sbowman Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I don't have firsthand experience (I'm attending Stanford for Linguistics as of this fall), but from everyone I've met there, you'll be fine. It seemed like a good, socially-functional group of people. And yes, It sounds like a solid portion of the students moved up to the city after a year or two, and it seems quite doable if you don't need to be on campus every day.
