If that's not what you're looking for, don't go to Princeton. It's not like they pulled some kind of bait-and-switch where they advertise themselves as a laid-back party school and then freshmen are shocked to discover high academic standards.

Maybe that didn't come of right. I was being a bit facetious. I was conveying a running feeling among many of the students that we were being academically hazed. I graduated from there so I know first hand the rigor of the requirements, thrived and loved every minute of the experience. I wouldn't trade the research opportunities I had there. However, when comparing notes with friends from peer institutions it seemed the school definitely demanded a more stressful academic load than our peer institutions and worked more aggressively to combat grade inflation, thus the student body seemed to do a needlessly excessive amount of work.
