healthy or toxic? can you tell in advance?

<p>I really don’t think there’s any way to tell other than a “gut” feeling. I have dealt with depression and anxiety since my early teens. I, luckily, have it as under control as it’s ever going to get. However, in my junior/senior year of high school that was most certainly not the case. Just walking on to the campus of another college that I was accepted to sent my anxiety through the roof. The students seemed cut-throat, super competitive, and it didn’t seem a supportive environment. I didn’t encounter that when I stepped on to the campus of my current college. I went with my gut and couldn’t be happier. It was an extremely supportive environment. </p>

<p>In cases that ML is talking about, it’s likely not going to matter one iota where you’re at. I don’t think there’s any real way to answer your question.</p>
