The Daily Beast thinks you need to relax, Columbia. According to its recent rankings of "The Most Stressful Schools In America," we're number one. I don't know about you guys, but I definitely felt a tinge of sadistic pride when I first heard the news (don't deny it. I heard you comparing midterm schedules last month, and I know at least a few of you are responsible for this blog).
But after singing a few bars of "Roar, Lion, Roar" to myself, it occurred to me that such a ranking might scare some of the incoming prospies who just got done with Days on Campus, so I thought a response was in order.
The truth is, I have no idea if Columbia is the most stressful school in the country (mostly because I don't attend every other school in the country). But more importantly, I think The Daily Beast has even LESS of an idea of the relative stress levels at Columbia. A couple reasons for this.
