[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it exist? A school not full of grinders, though they are smart, and can be nerdy, that are social and well-adjusted??

I keep hearing the following names:
Vanderbilt
Dartmouth
Northwestern
Duke 
USC 
Rice
UCLA
Michigan

Do you agree? Disagree? What’s missing? What should come off?

Not sure that Northwestern University should be on your list. Northwestern's quarter system is quite demanding. Students take 4 or 5 courses per quarter and the pre-med and engineering students work as hard as any students in the nation.

Dartmouth College definitely belongs on your list as a "non-grinder school" even though it is on the quarter/trimester system. Students take just 3 courses per term which allows plenty of time for social pursuits.

Duke students also enjoy a rich social life.

You can highlight Brown as the champion of "T-25 non-grinder social schools". Easiest grading, lowest pressure environment among Top 25 National Universities.

Several Ivy League schools, including Brown, Harvard, Yale, and Dartmouth, offer non-grinder options.[/quote]

Most popular majors at Northwestern are like communications, psychology, theater.
Enough said.

I think that your guess regarding the most popular majors at Northwestern University are a bit off.

Economics may be the most popular undergraduate major at NU, followed by digital communications & media,then psychology, then biology, poly science & government, computer science, then neuroscience/neurobiology.

Northwestern's undergrad is divided into 6 schools: Engineering, arts & sciences, communications, journalism, School of Education & Social policy, and the school of music. The school of communication and the journalism school are both regarded as the best in the country, if not in the world.

Many high school college counselors have shared that their students who have matriculated at Northwestern University find the school to be too intense & too demanding compared to their students who have matriculated at other Top 15 National Universities. Of course, this is anecdotal information, but it is something to consider.[/quote]
