<p>I got into Wharton, which is a dream come true, but campus and location wise, I think I like Brown better. What do you guys think…is Wharton too good to pass up?</p>
<p>Go To Brown Unless You Like Locking Yourself Inside The School And Or Hiring A Bodyguard To Go Outside.</p>
<p>well, do u plan to pursue business at Brown?</p>
<p>go to the place where you'll feel at home.</p>
<p>Brown doesn't have an undergrad business program</p>
<p>Philly > Rhode Island.</p>
<p>Also, I enjoy Penn's campus. Socially, it's a great place to be. Visit both though.</p>
<p>Brown's a chill place. Penn, however, is cooler.</p>
<p>A Wharton degree will take you places where a Brown degree would get you laughed out of the room.</p>
<p>Brown's campus is uninspiring and bland quasi-gregorian style...like a Harvard Lite.</p>
<p>As for location, who in their right mind would even try to compare Philadelphia to Providence? Philly has a higher crime rate but is immeasurably more exciting a city--in fact you can call it a city without giggling afterwards which is more than i can say for Providence</p>
<p>Behold, the awe-inspiring Providence Skyline

<p>I am chortling SO hard right now.</p>
<p>a brown degree will get you laughed out of the room? oh ****... don't be snobbish. Brown is also very prestigious.</p>
<p>Visit both. Wharton (and Penn as a whole) will be more preprofessional while Brown will be more pseudo hippie. It depends what atmosphere you want to be in. </p>
<p>Wharton will probably get you farther those first few years out of college, but after that it really doesn't make too much of a difference where you go.</p>
<p>About Providence vs Philly, Philly is only as dangerous as you want to make it. If you go to a bad neighborhood wearing a North Face listening to your iPod flashing your wallet, you're probably dead. However, if you're smart about it, you should survive your 4 years and actually know how to live in a city (which you probably wont learn in Providence). Philly is also more fun, and in between DC and NYC, so you can go to either for interviews and whatnot.</p>
<p>O, don't go to Brown. I have a friend on the waitlist and he's trying to get off. Either you don't go, or convince 5 other people not to go.</p>
<p>It won't make that much of a difference. Brown is good enough that it won't leave you out of any opportunity. Go to Brown and have more fun.</p>
<p>As someone who went to Penn, and has lived in Providence right next to Brown's campus, I think both locations have something to offer. Penn is definitely larger and more urban. But Providence has some nice restaurants and a nice campus.</p>
<p>Academically, if you're primary interest is business, there's just no comparison. Wharton is arguably the top undergraduate business school in the country. Brown doesn't even have a business school.</p>
<p>Wharton is easly the best business school in the country, but if your goal is to do something like I-banking coming out of college Brown will offer you the same companies and opportunities. The two largest employers of Brown students are the Peace Corps and Goldman Sachs. Lots of my friends got summer internships at places like Morgan Stanley, Bain, etc...
College is what you make it, just go where you feel happier.</p>
<p>i think both upenn and brown are very different schools, so mainly depends on which one appeals to u more. personally i wouls choose upenn over brown because from what ive read, it seems like upenn is a very vibrant, fast paced, multi cultural, in the heart of a big city, with more of the internation community, let alone i much bigger class of 2400, while brown woud be a smaller as providence is smaller place, yet very intellectually stimulating and with a smaller class size of 1450. so it mainly boils down to what is more applealing to you and what u expect from college, academically they both r at par.. ivy leagues..!!</p>
<p>But Penn is better. Just so you know ;-)</p>
