<p>Everyone would certainly say you’re spot on, but then everyone does begin and end with you, evidently.</p>

<p>This is factual</p>
<p>Are you talking about colleges or just people, in general? With colleges, I don’t think it’s so much of a concerted effort, as it is an image perception. It’s something similar to colleges calling themselves elite. Although, “elite”, I think, now, is far more over used than quirky.</p>
<p>Mit =) .</p>
<p>^ I agree.</p>
<p>but what makes the people at brown quirky?</p>
<p>Instead of referring to them as “quirky students”, why don’t you refer to them as “special”. Hopefully by that statement you can infer what I think of “quirky” kids. </p>
<p>j.king :p</p>
<p>I think everyone is a little bit quirky/atypical/unique/anomalous/[insert SAT vocab word you just memorized] :)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t conside Brown students to be that “quirky” compared to those kids at Reed/Oberlin/Bard/SLC/Wesleyan/Swarthmore etc. Brown’s a big ivy school with lots of different people. probably “weirder” than other ivies though</p>
<p>I’d say Oberlin and Swarthmore are both high in the “quirk” factor.</p>
<p>Hampshire, Reed, Macalester, NYU. Of all the Ivy League schools I think Brown has some quirky kids as does Yale.</p>
<p>Sarah Lawrence College FTW!</p>
<p>Also, UC Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley, Hampshire College, Bennington</p>
<p>Brown students are definitely NOT quirky in general. I find quirkiness to be dependent upon concentration, for example the greatest distribution of quirky students can be found in the computer science department and then its really random from there out. Sometimes you’ll see quirky happenings like a guy wearing a cape in a dining hall, or someone wearing a wizard hat, but there isn’t really a general quirkiness conception (if you get whut I’m saying).</p>
<p>A lot of Caltech students are quirky - especially in a nerdly kind of way.</p>
