[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Brown grads I know are exceedingly normal, one is super active in the junior league. It's not a great school academically (lots of grade inflation, very little rigor), but it's difficult to get in so the kids are bright.[/quote] My kid graduated 3 years ago, double major in the humanities, had a great experience, took only courses he found interesting, and graduated with a 4.0 that helped produce great grad school acceptances So if there was grade inflation, it didn’t negatively impact his academic experience and positively impacted his next steps I think Brown’s liberal reputation was overblown in the 80s when it became that generation’s stereotype for liberal campus excess (taking the mantle from Berkeley in the previous generation) and it’s now very much in the mainstream of campus culture nationwide I perceived it as a dream of a liberal arts college, melding the best of that experience with the size and breadth of a midsize university. We are truly middle class and my son was a little surprised at the wealth that was prevalent among students. [/quote]
