<p>I love them because they both offer very competitive comparative literature programs. I was wondering if anyone can offer me some distinguished differences between the two, in terms of students/social life, strength (which is stronger/active) in the humanities in general, and others...This is such a tough decision to make! I'll go visit them sometime soon but any initial comments from you will definitely help me a lot. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>I'm choosing between these two school too. Georgetown's FLL makes this thing hard for me.</p>
<p>though brown is not by any means the richest school, georgetown has a notoriously struggling endowment. brown's resources per student are vast in comparison--in essence you will be getting more bang for your buck</p>
<p>I prefer D.C over Providence since I'm a RI resident. It feels weird to go to a college half an hour away from home when I already went to a boarding school 200 miles away for the past four years. But like Sungchul says, it is very hard to decide because of Gtown's FLL program. I think I'd benefit from that and access to internships and work in D.C. But Brown's student body, what I hear, is very happy and laid back and very diverse (which I like), whereas Gtown's tend to be very preppy overall. Is this true? I came from a very preppy school and I want a change of environment.</p>
<p>Brown Brown Brown!!!!</p>
<p>Georgetown gives you 5 classes per semester as opposed to Brown's four. So you get 25% again the education with the chance to experience an extra world-class scholar each semester. Seems to me like Georgetown gives you more bang for the buck. </p>
<p>Perhaps if you go to Brown, with all your spare time from 4 classes. they will organize a field trip to the Investment office to let you look at some bank statements.</p>
<p>It would be interesting to know the yield of admitted students at each school. My guess is that you will select Brown University. No reason--just a guess.</p>
<p>georgetowns yield last year was 54% and its expected to be higher this year...don't know what brown's is but i bet its not over 60</p>
<p>You can take five classes a semester at Brown, and almost everybody will at least sometime during their four years. If it's really all about your education, you could even "vagabond" in on any other classes you want. You won't get any credit, but you will learn a lot.</p>
<p>Yields for the classes entering in the Fall of 2006: Georgetown University 47.16%, and for Brown University 58.04%. Georgetown applicants cross apply mostly at Boston College, Duke, NYU, Penn & Virginia. Brown applicants mostly cross apply to Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford & Yale.</p>
<p>If your lookint at international prestige...Georgetown is the way to go. Sure, Brown is ivy, but when ranked internationally, no one has ever heard of it! Even though Georgetown is only #22 (US NEWS) and Brown is #14(US NEWS), Georgetown enjoys a much better and well-known international reputation overall.</p>
<p>very few people believe georgetown enjoys more prestige than brown. </p>
<p>georgetown is a fine school but struggles financially and loses cross-admit battles handidly to all of the ivies, duke, stanford, and comparable schools.</p>
<p>Can any one provide / post a list of Top 100 best school in the world.
Thanks</p>
<p>How are Brown's International Relations and languages departments compared to Georgetown's?</p>
<p>georgetown SFS is a great professional degree if you are interested in <em>the</em> foreign service</p>
<p>brown's watson institute is also strong, but i believe is wider in scope. it will prepare you for a career in academia as well as international law or business. faculty that teach undergrads include the former president of brazil, former president of bolivia, former UN secretary general, former US Senator, founder of the chinese democratric party, Nikita Khruschev's son, etc.</p>

<p>both are comparable for languages, though if you are interested in an esoteric area you should look carefully to compare offerings</p>
<p>Truth is, I'm considering to major in comparative literature yet I feel that I might change my mind. I like Brown's open curriculum because it offers me the chance to explore different subjects yet I feel that Georgetown's FLL program is hard to resist. So my question is: how are Brown and Georgetown's Comparative Literature departments compared to each other?</p>
<p>comp lit at brown is among the best. don't know anything about the program at georgetown</p>
<p>Brown</a> University Department of Comparative Literature</p>
<p>I'm sure that you could get current Georgetown parents to make positive comments about Georgetown, but my daughter is graduating from Brown at the end of next month and she has had an absolutely wonderful experience there. The young people there seem to have found the right balance between academics and living life outside of the classroom. It's a special place.</p>
<p>Can't speak for Georgetown other than as an observer of children's friends who have gone there. Haven't heard any of them say that they didn't think it was equally as special.</p>
<p>Tough decision. Good luck.</p>
<p>I'm deciding between brown and georgetown too (I got into SFS) and even though i want to do international relations right now, i know i'll probably change my mind. How does georgetown compare to brown in other fields?</p>
<p>If you do end up changing your mind, I think Brown would be a safer bet.</p>
