Is it true that the atmosphere is stressful?

It’s surprising, at least to me, that you’ve heard from multiple people that Wash U is one of the more stressful stop schools. Like thentheresme, one of the top reasons that I chose Wash U is because of how every current student seems to wholeheartedly agree that Wash U’s environment is very different from most other top schools, in that the people are generally friendlier and work together rather than trying to beat out everyone else. Obviously, I’m expecting some stress, but not from the competitiveness of my peers, simply from the level of the work itself.
