<p>The idea of c"chill students" is a relative one. For example, a University of Texas professor recently called Stanforde intellectual environment “light years” better than U of T, one of the foremost state schools in the nation. I think by chill it means Stanford students have balanced lives, they talk about academics, but also play a sport, either competitively or intramurally, find a few groups they truly enjoy, and grow as people.</p>
