Top 50 Stressful Universities in the U.S.

Sure, college can be stressful. Just ask any college or university students – the night before a big exam. 

Too much caffeine ... too little sleep. 
Too many books ... too many overtired brain cells. 
What's a collegian to do?

The Daily Beast examined the top 50 American universities, based on rankings from U.S. News & World Report, and evaluated these schools for stressfulness.
