[quote=Anonymous]So my family has both types of kids. One who went to a HYP and one who went to the state flagship. The one who went to HYP did actually have a mental breakdown during college. But it was very self imposed, because student was super type-A high achiever. Student was used to being top of the class and one of the more intense students in school. In the environment at the HYP intensity was ramped up in ways no one could have predicted. Some of this was personality, some was environment. State flagship kid was in general more laid back, and had a very happy time in college. But this was also due to personality AND environment. So it's not one or the other. The intense kids will be most likely be intense no matter where they end up. Some of this is self selecting. They both ended up happy and functional adults with careers.[/quote]
