Every college, prestigious or not, has students who struggle. However, at some colleges, many of those struggling students aren’t necessarily not ready for college, any college. They just may not be ready for that college in what they tried to pursuit. I’m not of the view that curricula and coursework are all similar for similar majors/degrees at all colleges. Everything is relative. When a student is with others who are significantly more capable at a college, s/he may be subject to more stress and higher expectation that can lead to all sorts of problems that s/he may not face at another college.
