MIT students open up about stress

I attended Caltech, which is an equally high pressure school. But being around lots of smart and highly motivated people made for a great deal of fun, too. There were always interesting conversations to drop in on, and amazing projects people were working on just for fun.

Yes, we got pushed, hard. But it is amazing how much one can learn when pushed.

Unfortunately the Caltech administration over the past four years hasn't made things easier. Banning benign traditions and kicking people out of their houses for no reason doesn't help with the stress levels.

I graduated over 35 years ago, and nothing stays the same. But I'd be sad if it was materially different.
