Would you say the student body has many “sharper edged, East Coast” kids? Or that those who attend are all trying to shy away from that atmosphere? Also, in terms of intense academics- how intense are we talking? 5 hours of homework for freshmen every night, with the load just increasing as the years go? Or intense in the classroom but the focus is more on work-life balance, so less menial homework tasks?
