[quote=Anonymous]My kid goes to Brown. Loves it. I will say that while it's still the "crunchy" Ivy, I think the reputation for hyper-liberalism is a little outdated in 2 ways. 1, a lot of other schools have moved Brown's way. For example Yale, Harvard, even Georgetown (traditionally less liberal) are grappling with their histories as enslaving institutions. What was once an outlying progressive initiative is becoming mainstream. 2, the idea that Brown kids are hippies and/or not academically motivated. With today's hyper competitive admissions environment, the kids getting into Brown are very high achievers - its acceptance rate is lower than Penn's. My kid's experience has been so positive in part because his peers are bright kids who were attracted to Brown because they genuinely love learning. Not to mention, Providence is great. Congrats! She will love it [/quote]
