UMass Honors vs Tufts University

Whether Cornell would be better and worth the extra cost depends on fit. Very strong in the sciences, obviously, but probably has more stressed-out students than the other two (much of it self-imposed, but that does influence the culture).

Can you elaborate as to why Cornell seems to have this stigma attached to it of stressed-out students? I keep imagining a Gothic Joyce Carol Oates novel.
