[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college students feel strongly that toxic kids go to Penn. [b]It is full of snakes and super intense, cuthroat. If your kid is like that, Penn.[/b] Otherwise, Northwestern for sure.[/quote] +1 same experience and perception here[/quote] Same for Ivy League students in general no? The kids who will shiv you in the back to further their own interests. Yuck.[/quote] No, [b]Penn stands out even among Ivy League as the place for toxic, cutthroat kids.[/b][/quote] This is an accurate statement. Penn is well known for stress related mental health issues and suicides/suicide attempts. A few years ago, the head of mental counseling at Cornell accepted the same position at U Penn and then killed himself (which generated several articles about the intense stress related culture at U Penn--none of which focused on Wharton as one might expect.)[/quote]
