Why Miranda Nykolyn Chose Stanford
- “After visiting Stanford for the first time on my official visit, I was immediately in awe. Not only are the academics amazing and the sports incomparable, but the school is beautiful and unlike any campus I have ever seen before. I felt right at home from the start and knew I would be happiest at Stanford.”
