<p>"Spend a week at Brown, Stanford, or Dartmouth and you'll get a very different vibe than most other schools."</p>
<p>I spent 3 days at brown with a friend when I was a freshman and I guess the campus was pretty 'chill' ... there was nobody around!!! The campus was dead, it was really weird. I guess everybody was "chilling" and getting high with my friend. I took off to some good restaurants, that huge mall downtown, then visited Newport while I was at it. This was just my experience, though. Didn't like it, thought it was boring, but i'm sure there's plenty of others who think otherwise. </p>
<p>Also, odyssey's point about not labeling a student body of 13,000 undergraduates is spot-on.</p>
