Stanford University is right in the heart of Silicon Valley, has a lot
of really smart, really cool people working/going to school there, is
the birthplace of MANY of the industry's biggest players (Sun, Cisco,
Yahoo, to name just a couple), has a beautiful campus and is in a REALLY
nice part of the country.
If I were offered full scholarship to either MIT or Stanford, it would
be a really tough choice, and I'd probably pick Stanford mostly because
of the location. (I don't care much for Boston but I love California.)
MIT probably has a better pure R&D reputation, but if you want to get
right to work after school, Stanford seems to be a mainline directly
into the Valley's economy.
But watch out for those extra-circular activities if you're going into
the computing field. That could get you into trouble... :)
