How would you categorize NEU?
collaborative
Good to hear. Academic stress will always be there but it should come from challenging material, not competitive classmates. D wouldn’t go to Columbia for a full ride because of this.
I’d agree. Some classes are more competitive because people worry about the grades for pre-med or something (like organic chemistry), but even that’s not bad. I’ve always been able to find people to start a study group with or a homework partner. From my experience, the attitude is generally positive and people are willing to help.
