[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Surprised nobody has mentioned Notre Dame here, which of course is rigorous, but tends to have students who are more collaborative than competitive.  Plus the focus on "making the world a better place" and football helps bring community together.  My son is bright, but not necessarily a type A and found a group of friends with varying levels of intensity.[/quote]

I went to Notre Dame, and I think it's definitely worth a look for OPs kid, IF it's the kind of school OP would want to attend.
The kids at Notre Dame were the ones leading the pep rallies in high school and getting involved in a bunch of activities and enjoying belonging to clubs/groups/sports/etc.  While ND students are smart, typically they aren't the uber-intellectual kids you'd find at a place like Chicago.  There really isn't a competitive vibe on campus at all (outside of football... which... well... not competitive there either, turns out...)

Obviously it's a Catholic school, so that may make it a no-go for OP's kid, but if that's OK it's a good option.[/quote]
