What sets Brown apart from the other Ivies?

<p>Besides having an open curriculum of course. </p>

<p>Less cut-throat, more laid-back?
Less cliquey, more quirky?
Any class-issues/divisions that seem to pervade Princeton and Harvard from what I’ve gathered?</p>

<p>And if you could compare Brown to one school, what would it be? Stanford? Rice? Dartmouth?</p>

<p>Thoughts appreciated.</p>
