回复：斯坦福一般不给国际学生FA，限制了好学生来源, 这点不如耶鲁。

In my opinion, a college like Stanford with extremely high percentage of CA and Asican residents will limit it's progrss in the long run.  The reason Yale can provide need-based financial aid for international students is because Yale can afford and is willing to do so.  This separates Yale and Stanford.  Also, Northeast is America's culture center.
