First impression

My visit day to campus wasn’t ideal by Stanford standards, apparently. It was rainy, grey, and overall groggy. I was just in awe of the beauty of campus, and found it funny how the faculty and current students kept apologizing for the weather — something they had no control over. It was then I realized not only how nice the campus was, but how nice the people were too. They went out of their way to show the beauty of campus despite the grey, and it helped lead to the decision to come.
