Student Reviews
Representative reviews"Exceeded expectations"
Coming here has changed how I think. The best part: small-group tutorials really push your thinking. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — campus life is really active — Greek life, sports, clubs, you name it. Overall, if you're considering Master's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences/Liberal Studies at Stanford University, I'd say go for it.
"Would do it again"
I was sceptical before starting — now I'd recommend it to anyone. The best part: the cohort are bright and motivated, which makes the learning environment great. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city — housing gets expensive fast if you don't live in dorms. Overall, if you're considering Master's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences/Liberal Studies at Stanford University, I'd say go for it.
"Solid, with caveats"
Would I choose it again? Probably yes, with caveats. The best part: the opportunity to do independent research in the final year is a highlight. If I'm honest, would like to see more industry guest speakers in later years. On the city — housing gets expensive fast if you don't live in dorms. Overall, if you're considering Master's degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences/Liberal Studies at Stanford University, I'd say go for it.
