<p>Brown is a wonderful school with superb students and superb faculty. It’s maybe not as well-known worldwide because it’s more undergraduate-focused than say, Harvard or Berkeley is.</p>
<p>It happens to be in the Ivy League sports conference, but even if it weren’t, it’d still be among the most prestigious universities in the nation.</p>
<p>I disagree modestmelody. Where it matters, Brown is as prestigious as Cal. Nobody is going to deny that internationally, Cal has a bigger reputation and nobody is going to deny that Cal has much strong graduate programs than Brown, but as overall institutions, Brown and Cal are equally well regarded. Only 5 universities aremore prestigious than Brown, those are HYPSM.</p>
<p>Alexandre, I agree with you. I just don’t think that we’re gong to have a meaningful conversation with RML that will come to any kind of conclusion-- that one or otherwise. So we may as well reinforce his beliefs and what he’s hoping to “expose” by posting this and move on.</p>
<p>I think RML is trying to ruffle someone’s feathers, and that someone obviously isn’t you.</p>
<p>
Agreed. Who wants to start the inevitable “Is Harvard prestigious?” thread? :D</p>
<p>No. I’m not impressed by most of my school mates, and definitely not the Brown kids I know personally. So I don’t know what the big deal is. Technically, I’m in the know, and I don’t think it’s prestigious. It’s my self-deprecating nature. ;-)</p>
<p>All that matters:
Emma Watson is going to Brown!</p>
<p>^ Emma Watson apparently was walking with the Dean of Undergraduate Admissions and a Harvard tour guide on this “personal” tour according to my close friend at Harvard university.</p>
<p>Brown > Harvard for Emma Watson!</p>
<p>
I was very very tempted to. There has to be a way to make it seem innocent enough…</p>
<p>As an Asian student, I knew Brown from the O.C. Not kidding</p>
<p>I can’t stop laughing from the “Brown is the color of poo” remark.</p>
<p>^As an Asian, I discovered Harvard and Yale through Legally Blonde (first English movie I ever watched). XD</p>
<p>Emma Watson is going to Brown!!!
Someone convince her to go to Berkeley!!!
Emma Watson is Awesome!!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p><em>cough</em> Columbia <em>cough</em></p>
<p>Emma Watson was considering Haverford as well, if I’m not mistaken.</p>
<p>I heard Watson was removed from the Brown directory. What that means… I have no idea.</p>
<p>Miss Watson was rejected at Cambridge and Yale, and most probably, Berkeley, if she ever has applied there.</p>
<p>Miss Watson is a “huge slut” according to my close ?Harvard friend/tour guide friend. So I am not sure why you guys are crazy about her going to Brown. :)</p>
<p>Is she? Well, I wouldn’t mind being her tour guide then. lol</p>
<p>
I would be extremely surprised if that were true…which, aside from idle gossip, it is not. In addition to her obvious acting work, Watson got straight A’s and A*s on her GCSEs and A-levels (which is not terribly uncommon, but still).</p>
<p>
Aside from the obvious distasteful nature of such a statement, even in a joking manner…</p>
<p>Yeah, it makes total sense for her to slut around Harvard. It’s chock-full of gorgeous people, right?</p>
