[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown and Duke have very different cultures. Is your kid more preppy (Duke) or more crunchy/granola(Brown)? Dies your kid like watching sports and want a school with a lot of spirit in the traditional sense of the word (Duke)? Does your kid get really stressed about school and therefore would benefit from Brown's more lax grading policy?

Both are great schools but they are super different. [/quote]

This is exactly what I was thinking. Crunchy/granola versus preppy. Which does she prefer?  Both are great schools, but totally different. [/quote]

You think Brown is “crunch granola”?

You have obviously never been there.[/quote]

I went there. It's not Reed, but Brown will definitely more crunchy/less preppy than Duke. Also much smaller Greek scene. So it really depends what your kid wants.[/quote]

Smaller greek scene yes.  Plenty of preppy kids there.  Maybe you don't understand what the vernacular "crunchy/granola" means.  Visit UVM for a taste.  Brown has plenty of urbane kids in an urban setting.[/quote]

True but OP isn't comparing Brown to UVM, OP is comparing it to Duke. It's more crunchy than Duke [/quote]

That's a useless comparison.  Toronto, on average is warmer than Buffalo NY.  Does that mean you should describe Toronto as "warm"?  Especially for someone thinking of moving there?[/quote]
