<p>Whatever man. I'm on these boards for the summer to help out incoming or prospective Brown students and to kill time during the boring parts of my internship. If I'm still on these boards in 15 years, even if its to support Brown, I'm going to throw my computer away and join the marines or something.</p>
<p>Oh sweet, you go to Brown?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure Byerly is aka NYCFan, a Harvard troll who dominated and pretty much destroyed the once fun/funny Princeton Review discussion board back when I was in highschool. He graduated Harvard IN THE 1960s. Allegedly, he was a classmate of the Unabomber. And he has a daughter at Cornell.</p>
<p>Thethoughtprocess, yeah, I'm class of '08. Something positive I've found about Brown, and which I expect you'll also find about Duke, is that when you tell people you go there, you often get a, "oh awesome! I love ____!"</p>
<p>He graduated in the 60s? Hahaha</p>
<p>MoatToMoat: Yeah I know what you mean. It gets embarassing sometimes though with the enormous attention you draw.</p>
<p>Sometimes yes, but its nice that its positive. My friend who goes to Harvard just tells people she goes to school in Boston because she is so annoyed with people resenting or judging her.</p>
<p>haha, yeah
Brown is awesome, what sort of internship are you doing? It must be pretty cool since you get Internet access and have a bit of time to use it.</p>
<p>Honestly it is very amusing to see smart kids from one school duking it out with smart kids from another. What's even more laughable is how such intelligent people could resort to petty pashing of one another...especially when both duke AND cornell are great schools. Screw the US News rankings or the reputation of sports teams...the quality of education at either one is superior to 99% of the schools in the nation and you would be lucky to attend either one. Cornell's academic excellence goes far beyond its prestige and "ivy title," as does Duke's. Enough already.</p>
<p>*bashing</p>
<p>(didn't want anyone to get up in arms about a typo...lol)</p>
<p>Writing for a magazine.</p>
<p>Maybe Cornell is better.</p>
<p>Lucifer thats just ridiculous. Alumni mean next to nothing, do you think they achieved what they did because of where they went to college or because of the type of people they were?</p>
<p>Maybe both</p>
<p>I don't think that there is anything "special" about Brown that taught John D. Rockefeller Jr. what he needed to know to become the great philanthropist, or about Harvard that taught JFK, or Columbia that taught Keroauc or Asimov. Sure maybe if they didn't go they wouldn't have become the men they were, but thats more because of luck and fate than anything that is essential about going there. Are you going to count the number of famous alumni that Duke and Cornell have and then enter that into an equation to figure out which is better? Its absurd.</p>
<p>I don't really know much about alumni of either school, all that matters is right now</p>
<p>I have a bobbing-head doll of both Nixon and Coulter though</p>
<p>Then there is no need to discuss which one is better. Also it is useless to rank them.</p>
<p>Oh, ok....
didn't you bring it up?</p>
<p>lucifer: Lmao. You bring up a topic that has been resolved for a few days now and then try to tell us not to talk about it--priceless. I smell flame bait.</p>
<p>I just made an absurd conclusion from someone else's absurd view. And you take it for truth.</p>
<p>Do really think it was I who brought this topic up?
Do you really think this topic is resolved? Maybe only this discussion list is resolved.</p>
