<p>So I recently visited Columbia and I had thought that it was my no1 choice, but after touring the campus I just got this uppity vibe. I felt like they didn't try to sell the school, basically just acted like it could speak for itself (I know to an extent it can). </p>
<p>Anyway, my question: is this particular to Columbia or is it something I'll encounter at every Ivy? I want to go somewhere where the students aren't so stressed (Columbia is voted 2nd most stressful or something?) but I'm not willing to compromise an awesome education and all that they can offer just because I want to go somewhere with a "cooler" vibe. gag. opinions? from students @ columbia or other prospective students who have toured/considered similar schools. </p>
