Emory and several other mid-size private schools seem fairly similar:

Duke
Emory
Northwestern
Rice
Tufts
Vanderbilt
Washington U. in St. Louis

Obviously, the locations differ and some of the schools are more heavily into sports, etc., but other than those obvious differences, they all seem so similar!

I’m curious whether anyone has any thoughts about how the personalities of these schools differ? How do the personalities of the student bodies differ? Which schools have high-pressure academic atmospheres? Which schools have the happiest campuses? Which schools have the most interesting and accessible professors?
