[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a weird thread

Whenever we visited a campus, I considered a strong negative reaction a great outcome - one less place on the list, easier to focus on places my kids liked. But I never considered starting threads to talk about places they weren't interested in

For the record, one of my kids went to Brown and had a great experience. The dorms and food are pretty bad but the educational and social experience was phenomenal. And yes there are majors, called concentrations. Because of the open curriculum, it was easy for me kid to double concentrate, because their schedule wasn't filled with required courses.[/quote]

It's no different than any other thread in which someone is excited at their ability to say negative things about a school with competitive admissions.  It's the bread and butter of this forum, but it just hits you harder because OP is talking about your kid's school.

Read DCUM long enough and you'll find people who denigrate, among other things, your school, your kids' schools, your neighborhood, the style of your house, the number of kids you have, the car you drive, the vacations you take, the food you eat, and the politicians you support.  At some point you'll decide the best defense is a good offense, and you'll be off to the races saying negative things about some other school the next time you have a chance. [/quote]

Op here. Apologies...I did not intend to insult Brown. But it looks like that is how it is coming across. Brown ticked plus on a lot of my junior's criteria--location, weather, the ability to a cross major between a STEM and humanities combo. He is trying to decide where to ED. Of course we are aware it is a super reach but he wanted to try and liking Brown meant adding one possibility. I was just trying to see if we missed anything--perhaps another part of the campus. Sorry. No doubt it is a great school.[/quote]
