[quote=Anonymous]I want to distinguish between two aspects that can but don't necessarily overlap: Rigor and competition. For many students, there is a meaningful difference between (a) rigor (having demanding professors and a lot of homework) and (b) working in a competitive atmosphere (grade-conscious students competing against one another). For example, school like Swarthmore has a huge amount of rigor (course workload). But its students are extremely collaborative and tend to be the opposite of competitive with one another. As others have indicated, part of the workload is self-imposed. Putting a positive spin on it, students study hard because they are genuinely interested in the subject material as opposed to maintaining a high GPA as a prerequisite to Yale Law. Pomona is very similar. And I'm guessing Williams and Amherst and other top LACs are as well.[/quote]
