That's great, for the 15k students that go to Stanford. I always feel left out when I hear that massive celebrities/billionaires/etc visit and/or teach classes at Stanford all the time (e.g. Reid Hoffman, Paul Graham, Sergey Brin, Mark Zuckerberg, Vint Cerf, et al, et al). I'm in my senior year at a decent engineering school on the East Coast and it's huge news when we get one person with even a quarter of the prestige that all of those people have. Stanford just seems like a privileged club that a few thousand students (out of millions that apply) get into - then get access to all of the fame and genius and money they can handle.
