[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Yale is literally the subject of a class action lawsuit over how miserable it is for students and how harmful to their mental health. The PPs suggesting Yale must have attended in the 1950s. It was probably nice in the 1950s, but that was a long time ago.

The class action suit is about the leave policies, which were antiquated and bad. They are changing ( better, still could be improved.) This was prompted in part by the last time there was a suicide on campus during the covid year. But this isn’t what OP is asking about. The overall culture of the undergrad is highly collaborative with strong emphasis on community, vibrant arts life, grade deflation not really a thing. Kids tend to stretch themselves thin by choice with a million activities, busy social lives etc so you’re going to find some stressed out students as you would anywhere. But I went to a “grinder/no fun” school and that’s definitely not Yale. [/quote]
