<p>^ I think she’s more concerned about the overall atmosphere on campus and how the people here are, not rankings. In that regards, the “stereotype” does not hold true at all. There are some rich, spoiled kids here. But they are a very small minority. There are people here from almost every different background and income level possible. As for intelligence, people here definitely are intelligent and very competitive. They may not seem like that on Friday nights, when most people are partying. But in class, there’s definitely fierce competitiveness and if you slack off, don’t expect the grading curve to be nice to you. I’m sure your d will get along well with people here.</p>
