[quote=Anonymous]A given school's similarity to Brown isn't just about open curriculum vs stringent standards. It's also about the vibe, type of student, feeling on campus, characteristics of the school.

Tufts felt incredibly similar to Brown just in terms of the vibe I felt visiting both with DC. Similar student body size and neighbourhood surroundings, both in New England, bit of an artsiness to both campuses. Both are primarily undergrad focused, smaller undergrad populations, with med schools and a few grad programs.

Similary type of student at both Brown and Tufts. Many have both schools on their lists.

Others similar to Brown?
Wesleyan seems like a good candidate.
Haverford/Swarthmore/Bryn Mawr have a similar vibe
Reed too

Beyond LACs, some mid-size schools that might fit the model or vibe of Brown to various degrees:

St Andrews — size and vibe. Also has an open curriculum for years 1 and 2, then students specialize in years 3 and 4. But there's no curriculum reqs beyond taking whats required of your major.

Johns Hopkins 
William and Mary — similar size, friendly vibe, an easier admit too
UVM perhaps?
