possible transfer

[esoteric_me]

hi, I'm currently a freshman at Northwestern University and am considering transfering out next year. one of the places I'm looking at is of course Stanford. I'm just wondering if you guys could give me your impressions of the place since the two months that you've been there. I'd especially like to hear if you think the school is too small/big, how political the students are (the more, the better!), what people do on weekends, and how intense the workload is. also, are people super competitive to the point of being annoying (::cough:: Northwestern ::cough::)? Any other input would be much appreciated too!

Thanks,

Lara
