I’m making this video to answer one of the most asked questions from the Campus Crawl series “Harvard University versus Stanford University, which one is better?”

Btw if you are new, Campus Crawl is a series where I take you to the top universities in the world and show you the student day in the life, and of course, the college campus!

So after visiting Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Columbia, Yale, Brown, NYU, UCLA and UC Berkeley and interviewing dozens of students, I think now I have a good enough understanding of what makes a great university experience. Harvard and Stanford both definitely rank at the top. If you get admitted to either university, congratulations!!

Stanford proves you can have it all. Great academics, great high paying job prospects, great athletics, and great to decent weather as it does get mildly cold in the winter, but no extremes. I believe that Stanford is the Harvard of the future, maybe even of the now. Stanford is only 135 years old while Harvard is 384 and are right there with Harvard Academically. That says a lot. Stanford is catching up to Harvard on global recognition, but again Harvard has a 249 year head start.

My sons go to Princeton and Stanford. I am the most blessed father under the sun!

Stanford student here. The only thing I would add that I think you missed is living in silicon valley is one of the most expensive places to live in the US. I think the Stanford bubble is more a result of how expensive it is to go anywhere else for something fun. But there are plenty of amazing things to do in silicon valley... if you can afford them. Also I find it funny you had Mark Zuckerberg as a famous Harvard alum speaker in the video since he lives and works in silicon valley you actually have a better chance of finding him around Stanford 😂

[athenango]

I don't think I can even get in these two school but i still watch it :))😂😂

stanford my future university, ameen.

GUYS I'M SHOCKED. Idk how to call it, maybe magic or what. I was just scrolling through the Stanford faculties and at the moment I thought: "hm...what's the difference between Harvard and Stanford?" I got a notification about this video 😱😱😱

[abnertorres]

Chose your self! Meaning, you will succeed where ever attend school! I have friends graduated from less known that are very, very successful!

It really depends on what fields you want to study or which professors you'd like to work with .
Our son went to Stanford for undergraduate and MS, now doing PhD at Harvard. We have experienced both Harvard and Stanford Universities for the past six years, and I agree with you, Hafu. If you are a science/math kid, no school can hardly beat Stanford, although Harvard has some tie with MIT. If you are liberal art student, both are good.
If you are a serious athlete, definitely go to Stanford. Our son was a "walk on athlete" at Stanford and became one of the Team USA athletes. I don't think it happened if he chose Harvard. Stanford coaches know how to train Olympic athletes.
You can be a Rhode Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa, All American and an Olympian in one life, it is possible at Stanford, but probably not at Harvard.

The other places you may want to look at also are Oxford and Cambridge, I think.

One last advice is don't let tuition or scholarship decide your school. You are not buying some product here. You are choosing what you wish to achieve in your academic life. Climb your Everest. Good luck.

This was refreshing.

Good to see Stanford shine as the home of Tech-inclined students with interests in the Startups space in Cali.

[GM-hisp]

I’m glad you actually came to an end and made a conclusion that Stanford wins. Most of the times people don’t actually say which school wins because of the criticism they would get. Respect

[grizzsimbol]

Stanford is the nicest campus ever, it's yugggeee. With that said, I'll go Harvard for undergrad, then Stanford for grad school.

[rckyrin]

Lets compare UCLA & USC.. I'm waiting

[timethiustheally]

Hmmm interesting. I actually prefer the secluded campus that Stanford has lol. It feels more private.

[haleysn]

My teacher said that I’m Harvard and Stanford material so I came here to see which one is better

[muhammedashwackmoossa]

I wanna really thank you for explaining about one of the most renowned universities in the world.

[calpoly]

This is a Great video! I agree Harvard has more of a name recognition around the world and it’s the oldest university in the US . Stanford though is right in the Silicon Valley and that’s a brand recognition around the world in itself .

[jerutojudith]

I'm a ninth grader and you gave me light at the end of the tunnel thanks man you inspire me 💯💪 God bless you 😇😇🙏 continue with your work
