[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown had an incredible admitted student day.  Went to several other admitted student days and Brown did the best job by a wide margin.  DC cannot wait to be on campus.[/quote]

[b]Brown was our least favorite. Parents weren’t allowed. And the sessions were the least academic focused of others we attended. [/quote][/b]

Well, Brown among the Ivies is the most "loosey goosey" with respect to its curriculum (you can do whatever you want). So not surprised there was less of an academic focus. Probably why kids like it.  [/quote]

That is a bunch of stereotypical nonsense. Brown has a very rigorous curriculum. In fact, many of courses in the sciences at Brown push the students much harder than they do at others ivies. The main reason is that the students in these courses all want to be there out of interest (thanks to the open curriculum). So, they don't mind getting pushed hard. Lets not confuse more freedom to take courses with less rigor. Also don't confuse less focus of grades with less rigor.[/quote]

My spouse went to Brown and he and a Brown friend were both saying their college experience was a waste. Despite both of them being intellectual (IMO) and sharp, they coasted through and were academically unengaged and didn't get much out of the experience. They are older, though, so maybe it's different now. But Brown used to have a reputation for making it easy to coast through, and they both probably would have been happier somewhere else. [/quote]
