Caltech only admits people who can handle the coursework. That said, it's been a rewarding experience so far. People oscillate between high stress and overwhelming happiness. It's what happens when you love science and go to a school that lets you act on it.
Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Innovation: B

The grass is always greener on the other side, and just because most students at Caltech are miserable doesn't mean the students in the math and science departments at other schools aren't just as miserable.
Collaboration/Competitive: A+, Social Life: B+
