@capitalrate Penn is very fun, but it can also get intense if you choose to make it. Which is true for all top schools. I feel the stress factor stems from the fact that Penn people like to really push themselves and be great at everything, academics, research, top summer internships, extracurriculars and social life. But that is not much different from what students are like in all top schools. I feel at Penn you also got great social outlets to balance the stress and people tend to be quite happy I feel. But Penn is not for everyone, certainly not people who need to be coddled.
