<p>Brown isn’t Harvard and Georgetown isn’t Southwest Mississippi Junior College. To act like there’s a significant difference in the quality of students or professors at these 2 schools is quite a stretch. Nobody’s going to look at Georgetown on a resume and say “Too bad he didn’t go to a good school like Brown.”</p>
<p>Both schools are peers in prestige, with Brown having a slight lead only on account of its membership in the Ivy League.</p>
<p>Both schools unfairly suffer a lot of scorn: Brown, because of its open curriculum, emphasis on the humanities, and the political leanings of its students, Georgetown, because of its Jesuit, Roman Catholic, affiliation and its neglect of substantial scientific research. Basically, both have to endure the condescension of engineers and scientists who think that that the liberal arts serve no purpose (LOL) and that research output is the only metric by which schools should be judged.</p>
