<p>I really like Brown because of the lack of requirements (which I’m sure you all understand), but are there any other colleges like that?</p>
<p>If I'm getting "what we all understand" correctly, I just want to clarify that Brown students/prospectives don't like Brown because there's no one to tell them what to do or you can just do what you want. I hope I speak on behalf of other Brunonians when I say that we love Brown's open curriculum because of the freedom, independence and responsibility it gives all of us. At least I definitely don't see it as a way to do what I want with no one to tell me no.</p>
<p>(If I got the wrong impression, forgive what I said, but if I was right, I just want you to be informed!)</p>
<p>And by the way...Amherst College is a great school with an open curriculum as well.</p>
<p>yes, you got it right. i'm paying for my education, i don't want to be miserable taking classes that i'm not interested in just because its required for graduation (like some high school) and i think i'm smart and independent enough to pick my own classes. </p>
<p>thanks, i'll look ino amherst.</p>
<p>Awesome, I was going to apply to Amherst before I got into Brown ED (Woo hoo!) but I always had the feeling it was a little too small and secluded for me at least.</p>
<p>I actually came across Amherst in the book called "Hidden Ivies" or something like that. I bet you could some other open curric. schools but I don't know about the level of academics or anything. Don't neglect looking into lots of schools with a core curric. because you may just find something you can deal with, or even better a school that's not exactly open, but pretty damn close to it.</p>
<p>Look into Grinnell too, for a school with no requirements (and so much more merit aid than Brown). Also, University of Rochester has requirements, but they're in "clusters" or something so they're supposedly very easy to fulfill.</p>
<p>Vassar has an open curriculum as well! It has some <em>very</em> minimal requirements that can be easily fulfilled, so my Vassar interviewer told me.</p>
<p>If you get Echols scholar standing at University of Virginia, you don't have any area requirements.</p>
