[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think when people call a school “intense,” it’s usually referring to engineering, which is a grind everywhere. But there are some schools that have notoriously stressful engineering departments. Cornell and Carnegie Mellon come to mind. But I’m sure students in other majors have a more typical college experience.

But “intense” is usually thrown at the strong STEM schools - Cornell, CMU, MIT, Georgia Tech etc  But it’s major specific. The anthropology majors at these schools are not nearly as stressed as the engineering majors.

[b]Swarthmore is kind of unique. And Chicago was too until recently. These two schools were the places where the humanities and social science students could totally nerd out. I think that’s lightened up in recent years. And neither are as “intense” as their reputation.[/b]

Both are very intense. Chicago has perceptually changed, because they welcome a different type of pre professional student now into Business economics.

Swat, Reed, Chicago for difficult humanities and social sciences. STEM isn’t the only thing in the world.[/quote]
