with regards to competition- there are indeed a good proportion of competitive students, but it depends on the field of study or track. obviously, premeds and prelaws have to be competitive, comm’s and aem’s generally do not. but regardless, i haven’t really met any assholishly competitive people- youll be helped out if you need it, they wont check out all the books in the library so no one else can use them (heard that legend too).

w/ regard to elitism- not really prevalent. with so many people you wont notice a huge majority of any single type of dude or gal. check out what people are wearing/what their hair looks like during prelim weeks or finals… youll see the only real majority is wearing sweats, tshirts, flipflops or sneakers
