Prospective student?

I feel remarkably supported at Stanford, through things like the time my faculty members invest in my work and the advice of my older graduate students. Everyone is trying to encourage my intellectual growth and support me how they can. What will make my time here really beautiful is that I will maintain integrity in what I’ve always wanted to explore and the questions that have always gripped me, but I will have a much richer vocabulary for talking about it.
