[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if it’s due to weather or the fact that competitive NE schools heavily pull from NE and Midatlantic states - which are filled with overly anxious competitive striver families. So the kids are that way too. And then you have a school that is 60% wired like that. I’m not saying the college experience in the NE can’t be fun, I went to college in one of them, but the culture isn’t happy loose and upbeat.[/quote] I think the competitive NE schools are just more academically challenging and draw more serious students than the schools that people picture as "happy fun and positive." UC Santa Cruz has a more "happy, fun, positive vibe" than Berkeley because it's an easier, more relaxed school and it has nothing to do with the geographical location where students are drawn from and everything to do with the competitiveness of the students who can get into the respective schools.
