[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College is a source of pressure and major or track add more to it but student themselves are part of the pressure as a lot of pressure is rooted into their ability to handle rigor, workload, friendships, parties, drinking, weed, dating, time management and responsibility.

[b]Rice, Vanderbilt, Yale, and Brown[/b] rank as relaxed and supportive places for majority but obviously you'll find people who can manage to be miserable there as well.[/quote]

Sounds like these schools are mentioned a lot here, along with certain (?) SLACs?
Here is the list from earlier in this post back in the spring - what seems to be missing?

Rice
Brown
Vanderbilt
Dartmouth
UVA
Emory
USC
UNC
Wisconsin
Wake
Santa Clara
UMiami
Tulane
Davidson
Bates
Colby
Bucknell
Carleton[/quote]

Other than University of Chicago and Notre Dame, are there any other schools to add to this list? What is Colgate like?

I’m sending this list to kids email so kid can review & update common app as needed.

The more I read on here the more convinced I am that my kid needs a social, friendly, well-adjusted collaborative environment without sharp elbows.

Coming from a very collaborative private high school.
