Clemson, Connecticut College, and University of Puget Sound are my safeties. I agree that highly ranked universities can be stressful. However, and this could stem from huberace, I’m not particularly worried by it. My depression is genetic and, while not helped by, is not largely linked to school stress in any obvious fashion or, for that matter, any other stressor in my life. It’s just there. It’s also trending in the right direction.
That’s not to say that I don’t appreciate your advice. I agree that my mental health is something to consider wherever I go and your concern is 100% valid. Thank you for responding:)
