My college's reputation helps me get in the door, but I don't feel like it prepared me well in practical skills. Everything I learned was very theoretical.

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+

Despite having some wonderful friends and lots of stories, I would not go there again. Coming in, I was the typical math & science guy, and even got to skip a quarter of math based on the entrance placement exam (AP calc standards are trivial). Then, I found many people in my class who already learned the stuff - in 6th grade. That epiphany - wow, I'm not worthy, is really hard to get over. That said, most everyone is down to earth, approachable and at their core, want to help. Yeah, there are a scant few who are pathologically arrogant, shy, disinhibited, etc., but the small class size do magnify their impact. Socially, it is an awkward place - what did you expect when you put those already considered awkward in high school, together with some awfully hard academics? For the gals, the mantra - the odds are good but the goods are odd, is never more literal. For the guys, don't glom - have some self respect man!
Education Quality: A+, Social Life: D
