[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really haven’t heard of any “cutthroat” liberal arts schools. Certainly some are considered very academically rigorous but I feel like that is not competition between the students but between the class itself and the student. I’ve looked at a lot of SLACs and pretty much all of them specifically talk about this.

But that said, there are some SLACs that are considered grind schools. Swarthmore would be one…just discussed on another thread.[/quote]

OP here. Yes - the thread on Swarthmore inspired me to post but I've been thinking about this a lot recently.

Swarthmore was always a bit too tough to get into so it won't be on our list but I'm wondering if schools that are even a little easier to get into are so rigorous that kids (especially athletes with less time) are often overwhelmed? College needs to be more than just studying all day and night.

So I guess I'm asking - what are the other "grind schools" like Swarthmore that kids got into but felt like it was just too much work?
