Yeah, thx - write off anything that I’ve just posted UofCman lol.

Actually, Whartonman, to be honest I must say that I personally found the atmosphere of Tufts during my college app process to be very intellectual and worldly, especially in light of the fact that I’m looking into IR/European Studies and students who generally go to Tufts for IR/pre-med are generally very intellectual. As for the engineering, I can’t comment. So I am rather bias towards that university. The others I’ve listed are schools that I believe also have a large intellectual feel to them. I’m sorry if I sparked an argument over the issue. And I agree with you that we probably shouldn’t use this thread to discuss the intellectual airs of our respective universities/colleges, as that leads to pointless argument.

I should note that this thread is useless as it is EXTREMELY BIAS – person A will say that UChicago, Tufts, Pomona, and MIT are extremely intellectual, whereas person B will refute them and put their own list up. That doesn’t lead anywhere.

It is safe to say that any of the top schools in the US and Canada, including many listed so far on this thread, have extremely academic atmospheres; you wouldn’t have gotten into Dartmouth, Tufts, Bowdoin, Middlebury, Caltech, UChicago, etc. etc. WITHOUT BEING A WONDERFUL, STUDIOUS PERSON. So they WILL ALL have their mix of intense intellectual debate and fun. I vote to close this thread, as it is bound to spark argument.
