<p>I feel like we also tend to relax/hang out in the places where prospective students don’t go…dorms are downcampus, eating clubs are not open to rando passersby.</p>
<p>I think that to get a good feel for this kind of thing, you should probably try to come to Preview and talk to as many current students as possible, and also observe it during the odd hours of the day. Your personal standards for “stressed” will vary.</p>
<p>Personally speaking, yes, I am relatively stressed on a day to day basis – it comes with the weekly HW assignments. OTOH I love it here and I definitely take the time to “sit on the grass for an hour” and talk with friends on a regular basis. Well, maybe not the grass – it did snow just a few days ago! 
But just about every day I find the time for long, lazy conversation.</p>
