Tough choice: In @ Stanford and MIT

Please do not talk about ranking, as i think ranking might be usaful comparing between top 10 and top 50, but is meaningless in comparing these two school.

Culture wise, I love MIT because of its creativity ... all the hacks. I love to be with those truely smart and creative people. I know this is personal rather than a prefessional motivation.

location wise, Stanford is good because of the weather and proximity to silicon valley. Boston is historical city and should be a place worth living as well from career perspective I assume? unfortunately I never been to Boston so no idea how it feels. The life style in Bay Area seems great but I do not mind living in a big city either.

For the rest factors, I really can not tell the difference. both are extraodinary schools. MIT has a slightly longer program and more intensive and quantative curriculum. As an engineer I feel pretty ok about that. After all, you are here to learn, the more the better.

I am not interested in banking or consulting, but I am interesting in doing general management in corporate and startup.

Thank you for your opinions!

Visited Stanford, excellent campus, nice weather in comparing to Boston (I am in Boston right now). Stanford is truely a campus for all the students who want to learn. But the GSB is not as grand as i have expected. People are nice there. But not as nice as in Midwest. Similar to Boston. If it is for General Mgt in Corporate and Startup, for sure I will choose Stanford.

Not sure if you are a male or female, single or married, there is a big difference between Stanford and MIT in that aspect. Boston is really cold right now, negative degree.

Hope this helps.

Thanks wenxibee, I am a married man living in Beijing. My wife will join me when I study in US. Of course weather is much better in California but as native Beijingnese we can handle cold weather.

Stanford is building a brand new campus for GSB, it will be one of the best when it is finished.

How is the business environment in Boston, are there many VC and start up in Cambridge?

to stq: yes, I got offer from both schools, and I need to answer soon. I wanted to visit Boston before the decision but the US embassy in Beijing is closed for holiday and I have to renew my visa.

I was in the same situation several years ago -either is great! Congrats! If you want to start up something, GSB is definitely better. BTW, you'll probably be able to apply for a tuition fellowship (around $100k) from GSB, if going back to China is your desire.

for mba then definitely stanford.....no doubt about it

rank 6 might not be that different from rank 10, but top3 for sure is more superior to top10....
