[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Johns Hopkins, Swarthmore, Emory, Chicago, Case, Cornell, Columbia, Stanford, Berkeley, Penn. This list may be outdated. I hear that Northwestern, Duke and maybe Vanderbilt have joined their ranks in terms of intensity. [/quote]

Northwestern is more intense than Duke. Also more intense than Vanderbilt. But, much depends upon one's major. Georgia Tech engineering is intense, but other majors less intense (industrial mgmt. is an example of a less intense major).

I have heard differently about UC-Berkeley & Stanford. Just like Cornell, the level of intensity depends upon one's major.[/quote]

My kid is a freshman at NU - they go out only 3 nights a week.
It’s a mix of kids from NYC, CT, LA, NJ, MA, DC, Chicago. Lots of private school kids.
Very normal set of kids.
Lots of Econ majors. A few premed. Those kids seem more stressed.
All the humanities kids seem more chill. Sunbathing at beach, Pilates classes at SPAC, and 3 hrs in library.
Let’s see how it is in 4 months

Thanks for sharing your kid’s current experience at NU! Please do come back to share more in a few months.

DC is interested in NU (social sciences) and eager to hear more about life outside the classroom/library - including whether the quarter system dials up the pressure. [/

They spent the day watching big10 football (on the lake) and at the beach (on the lake). Think it was hot today!  They have a social event for a frat in downtown Chicago tonight.
So far so good! 
Will come back in January![/quote]
