[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well they are extremely different. Huge public vs small private for starters. [/quote]
You must be messed up. Both Duke and Brown are private schools with relatively small undergraduate college.[/quote]

DP. The open curriculum info was accurate, though. I have no experience w/ Duke. Mine is very happy with Brown. Students are driven but not total grinders. Creative, smart. Some very left, most lean left, but definite representation of moderate and right perspectives as well -- I bring this up b/c people often think of Brown as super lefty. My left leaning kid has been fine and has dealt with a few strident voices on both sides. So much is student driven at Brown, not just curriculum -- arts, clubs, etc. Lots of double majors and cross-over interests. I think the open curriculum attracts students who want to explore several fields. On the downside, dorms are pretty old/spartan, and food is OK. People used to say bad, but I think they've made a few changes here in recent years. There is school spirit at Brown for sports (Go, Bruno!) but not the same rah rah level as Duke. Also, more spirit for diverse sports like rugby and for things like music or theatrical performances which often sell out. Some fun traditions like the organist playing at midnight on Halloween.

Tough choice. Good luck deciding![/quote]
