<p>it's the worst part of the school if you ask me. people are just too professionally driven. . .there's a huge variety of students for sure, but this whole obsession with future prospects and job placement probably descends from wharton and infects much of the other schools & students. it's not just finance/consulting jobs, but grad school, med school, just peoples' futures in general. no one's to blame, it's only natural, and it's not strictly a fault for someone to think about their future, but it's annoying to me. I'm not sure how it is at the other Ivies but that's just how I feel. of course there are definitely intellectually stimulating classes around</p>
