<p>I’ve actually visited most of these schools in my search… here’s my feel. Haven’t been to WashU. All are similar academically, though you should look into your specific major.</p>
<p>Liberal (politically)- Emory, Tufts, Duke, NW
Conservative- Rice and Vandy</p>
<p>Feel of campus- casual- Tufts, NW, and Vandy
Elegant- Emory
Stuffy- Duke, Rice</p>
<p>Happiness- hard to gauge. I’d say happiest- Vandy, Tufts, Emory
Stressed out- NW, RIce, Duke. I hear WashU is the same way.</p>
