[quote=Anonymous]I want to distinguish between three distinct concepts that people often conflate when discussing colleges. The three concepts often but don't necessarily overlap. (1) Rigor/Workload: How much work students are assigned and/or the time demands of a school's academics. (2) Pressure/Stress: The extent to which a school's academics negatively affect students' mental well-being. (3) Competition: Whether students are competitive with one another, gunning for top grades, internships, etc. The opposite is a collaborative student body that works together and probably doesn't discuss grades. Personally, I think most top schools will have rigor, but whether they also have pressure or competition is another matter.[/quote]
