| Full-time undergraduate program |
The only crime I experienced while I was a student was the theft of my
bicycle, but that occurred near the train station in Palo Alto and not
on campus. I once put out a relatively valuable object in the middle of
the main plaza to see if anyone would take it, but no one did. People
had a great deal of respect for each other on campus, and I think
Stanford tried to instill this attitude among its students. Stanford
offered a relatively diverse choice of housing and dining options for
its undergraduates, which operated on a lottery system after your
freshman year. Life on campus encouraged students to govern for
themselves. If you chose to live on one of the theme houses, for
example, the undergraduates hired (and had the power to fire) their own
cooks. It was a pleasant, relaxing place to be, far from all the
troubles of the world.
