[quote=Anonymous]I would say that my intellectual life is more pleasure principle driven whereas DC tends toward masochistic Stakhanovite in pressure-cooker environments, so, yeah, I think there’s some truth to the self-selection thing. But there’s been more misery associated with UofC than with HS — not personally for DC, but atmospherically. HS prepared DC for the academic pressure/standards @ UofC. It didn’t prepare many of DC’s UofC friends. Watching them deal with this pressure, DC’s reaction has been wow this is really unnecessary and counterproductive. DC has made a radically different choice of university for grad school. So we’ll see how much of institutional culture matters. DC is well-rounded and probably became even more so in college but wants to be in a setting where that is valorized. [/quote]
