Brown University
A member of the prestigious Ivy League and founded in
1764 as the seventh college in America and the third in New England, Brown is a university located in Providence, Rhode Island. Regarded as one of the most elite and selective colleges in the world by those in academia, Brown took the path less traveled in the design of its
curriculum. Unlike
Yale and Harvard, Brown has no core requirements, placing sole responsibility for an education in the hands of its students. Largely misunderstood by the masses because of its liberal philosophy, Brown continues to be the largest feeder into Harvard Law School behind Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Much to the
chagrin of the public, Brown students do not typically misuse the Open
Curriculum and are not tree-hugging, pot smoking hippies.

An Ivy quite misunderstood...but might be the best ivy out there with diligent students applied to such a curriculum.
Brown is not known for its
grad schools like the other
ivies, but known as a good place to start as a curious
undergraduate that whom is not sure yet of what they want to major in.

An article released in China announced Brown as one of the top four universities in America alongside the typical Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. Most famous for its open curriculum. If you're going to pay a large sum of money for college education, you should have the right to use your money to take whatever classes you want or need. Brown allows you to do that.
Voted
douchiest school 2009 from GQ from, later found out it was an inside joke. Just because we're a liberal institution does not mean we are
tree-huggers, hippies, pot smokers, sex-loving freaks.
Brown students are known to be more well-rounded than those from other
Ivies. We're outgoing, social, down-to-earth yet attentive, intelligent, and eager to learn.
Also famous now because of Emma Watson and yes, I've seen her.
Example:
If you think college sucks, you haven't been
to Brown University.
A t-shirt said, "HARVARD (because Brown rejected me)"
"So like, with that much freedom and the open
curriculum, how do Brown students learn?"
"Oh we learn. We want to learn. But we know how to have fun too."
Usual student, "Did you see
Emma Watson?"
Brown student, "Yes, why?"
Usual student," OMG I love her, you are so lucky!! Have you talked to her? OMG I want to meet her."
Brown student, "Uh huh...sure. Yeah I saw her, do I care? I've got my own stuff to worry about."

An institution of higher learning that is a member of
the Ivy League. Located
in the small city of
Providence, RI, this institution prides itself in having absolutely no requirements. These students are often tree-hugging, liberal hippies who take their classes pass/fail.
Example:
Jon goes
to Brown University. He parties a lot and smokes weed because he takes all of his
classes pass/
fail.
