[quote=Anonymous]Some of this will depend on his major and not just the school. Also there is a difference between cutthroat and academically challenging. Like Carleton kids work really hard because the ten week quarter system is intense, but the students and faculty are really nice and supportive. So he might have to grind, but only for three classes and with a lot of help. I’d look for somewhere without a lot of core requirements so he can pick his classes and play to his strengths and balance his schedule. Like maybe don’t take a foreign language if it’s not required because those classes require grinding because they are memorization heavy. Also look for places that allow a certain number of classes to be taken pass/fail. Maybe Colorado College? They have a fairly unique block schedule where they take one class at a time. I think Cornell College does that too. [/quote]
