I would be surrounded by intelligent people who would help me reach my potential.

No, it sounds as if you were asking which of those intelligent people would help you reach your potential. Be very careful when using "which", it is usually part a query. You seem to have a run on sentence. If you can place a comma in a sentence and still have two complete phrases, use can replace that comma with a period.
I would be surrounded by intelligent people. These individuals would help me reach my full potential.
Hope this helps!

This is an incomplete sentence. It needs something more -- for example, If I were to go to college, I would be surrounded by intelligent people, which could help me reach my potential.
Hope this helps.

Steve-o58 is right. The comma suggests that the "which" is referring to the state of being surrounded. Without a comma it would be better to use "who", referring to the people. The final question mark after the full stop doesn't make sense.

Yes, the word "which" refers to the state of being surrounded, not the people, so that is proper grammar.

well--this looks like it is part of a sentence...
if you had something before it as in...becasue of or if blah blah blah blah, I would be surrounded by intelligent people which would help me reach my potential..it might work--I would change it to "...If something something--I would be surrounded by intelligent people, and this could help me achieve my potential..."
