Brown or Duke?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>I’m planning on applying ED, and I wanted some input. I’ve been a Brown fan for as long as I can remember, but a lot of my friends went to Duke this year and they love it. I respect both schools and their huge differences, but in many ways I feel they are both similar. </p>

<p>Advise me on which school you prefer, and why! It’s okay if you’re biased-after all this IS the Brown forum.</p>

<p>Also, please do not mention rankings. I truly want to pick a school for its students and profs, not its number.</p>

<p>I don't really think they're similar at all. The "What do you love about Brown?" question I've largely answered in this post:</p>

<p>I also think that the The Curriculum at Forty, a review written by the Task Force on Undergraduate Education captures much of what Brown is, what we want it to be, and how we want to get there.</p>
