<p>I’ve seen a ton of colleges, but Brown gave me the absolute best vibe of them all. I’m trying to decide between applying early to Brown or Duke. To be quite honest, it’s going to be a tough decision.</p>
<p>very different schools. what appeals to you about each and what are you looking for, specifically, in a school/social experience/education?</p>
<p>I turned down Duke for Brown. Duke is a good school, but Brown is the sort of place that - if you belong there, you belong only there (I feel that way). Make the call.</p>
<p>People may disagree with me, but personally…</p>
<p>Academically, they’re comparable.
Socially, radically different.
Locations are very different, too.</p>
<p>But, it seems that the social aspect is more different. Who knows? Good luck!</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re really going to want to envision yourself at the two places and see which one is a better fit.</p>
<p>Wow. Do you have a proposed major (and it is fine at either school if you do not.) I would’t think those are big overlap schools. Consider going to the one most different than you are from.</p>
<p>What is the social difference between Brown and Duke? I’m asking as an international applicant :P</p>
