B.S., Computer Science
In a few words, a few things that I’m going to miss most about Stanford: at the surface level, the sunshine, and the beautiful campus.

But in terms of my overall experience – I’m definitely going to miss the people the most. There was this term on our entry essay – intellectual vitality – people who are just so curious and so excited to learn things and talk to you about what they’re passionate about. I’m going to miss that energy.
