Cours on Stanford
"It is perfect here. The weather is really nice, the academics are great and the lightweight rowing team is one of the best in the nation. Our coaching staff is incredible. There are so many resources and opportunities and the people are all really nice. There isn’t anything bad to say about Stanford.”
