[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t you think all the Ivy League and top colleges are like this, though? The kids largely got there through… striving! If you want a friendlier yet so less smart environment, that’s a large state school. [/quote] no such thing as friendlier place/environment. kids will be fighting/competing with peers for jobs, clubs, etc [/quote] Penn and other ivies have more open clubs than the big publics. The research spots with professors are plentiful: every student who wants to do research can. Not true at publics. Penn has much smaller classes even for stem than publics. Most are under 30. Hence getting to know professors is easier. Getting a TA spot is easier. These factors are what makes penn and similar elites collaborative and supportive. The scarce resources of a large public cause a cutthroat environment with much more competition. [/quote]
