Knight Center does not have a central location, is isolated from rest of the campus and tucked in towards the dormitory portion of Stanford campus.

This also reflects in poor dining situation. There are few food options around this dead zone .

Parking is a major pain despite the little garage. You need permits that require going to a campus office. Ground level visitor parking is impossible to find around here.

Their MBA may be great but Stanford GSB is not competitive in executive education. Almost identical executive programs are available at Berkeley Haas at substantially cheaper prices.

If I was applying for an MBA, I would love to apply here. The campus is gorgeous. I took a continuing studies course here (Com 19), which is offered to their GSB students and loved it. The team who facilitated the course was wonderful and was focused on community building. I would encourage GSB students to take this in their first semester/quarter (whichever system that Stanford is on).

September.

September.
The rich orange light descends through,
Leaves trending towards cardinal,
Changing,
Preparing to drift down, into
slumber.

The scent of the air,
Autumn's chill,
The harvest,
And,
What is this I invigorating scent?

Ah, yes.

This is the smell of living things,
The vivifying aroma,
The canal from the mind,
The birth of new ideas.

Stanford GSB is where I've found some the smartest people I met while in the Valley. Lots of entrepreneurship related events going on, if you have the time, try to hop in to one class and you might find yourself taking lessons from a super successful entrepreneur. Amazing

Superb

The best part about Stanford is the culture and the people. The admissions process tries to weed out anybody that is arrogant or inwardly focused. The result is a culture that is non competitive and extremely supportive. For example, your classmates can bet the best source of career leads and information on new opportunities you are exploring. I have been blown away by how much people contribute to the community (planning events, etc.).

The opportunities within tech and entrepreneurship are also incredible. With close access to VCs in the area, a number of students are involved with part-time internships or entrepreneur in residence programs. The on-campus resources for start-ups are also expansive.

The school is very tech focused. While there is something for everyone here, it has been more tech centric than I expected.
