What is considered the most stressful college for students to attend?

Answer: Washington University in St. Louis

According to Newsweek's College Rankings 2012, which also ranked the top party colleges (No. 1 is West Virginia University), most rigorous schools (Columbia University tops the list), and most beautiful schools (top spot goes to Pacific Union College), among many others, St. Louis' Washington University earns the top slot as the nation's most stressful school. But it's not just about the academics -- according to Newsweek, total price of attendance, the percentage of students receiving financial aid, the average amount of financial aid, the selectivity based on the average SAT or ACT score and the percentage of applicants admitted were all considered when ranking the schools.
