<p>Umm I've just been reading threads on these boards for 2 days and the fevered obsession of colleges, particularly the ivy league schools, is bordering neurotic.</p>
<p>I've picked up on several anxiety and personality disorders and god knows what else.</p>
<p>It's a bit worrying. Any opinions on this phenomenon?</p>
<p>I think you’re right on the money, iamsounsure. :)</p>
<p>People on any forum are obsessive about the subject. Welcome to College Confidential.</p>
<p>Yes, I’m a member of many forums of many different topics however none of the users show such promise for mental degradation and disorders. Not to mention a not so healthy disconnect with reality.</p>
<p>I don’t know if it’s as bad as you think it is, but there ARE a few twisted minds contributing to CC.</p>
<p>yea, this is why its called college CONFIDENTIAL</p>
<p>Yes, it’s pretty scary. The plus side is that when they start to talk crud, just refer to their thousands of posts and how they have no life.</p>
