(RISD is one of the main reasons I applied; art is my number one hobby and I wanted to make sure I had access to a great arts program and environment in college)

Personally, I think happy students and environment should be on top. That's what's making it for me right now.

<li>The fact that references to it are peppered throughout all my favorite shows, e.g. Brian from Family Guy went there, Scrubs is about John Dorian's time at PLME, etc</li>
</ol>

You guys took so many good ones!B I've gotta think of more!

thedailypursuit · December 7, 2008, 2:47am

Crazy! I didn't know that JD went to Brown. Which episode discussed that?

Obstinate · December 7, 2008, 3:13am

Not JD, but John Dorian, the real person that JD's character is based off of. But in one episode, it is revealed that Elliot went to Brown, because her old college friend comes back into town and she's like "How about we hit it off in the town like back in the good ol' days at Brown?"

smeagz · December 7, 2008, 10:24am

it's Jonathan Doris, at least according to wiki

wolfmanjack · December 7, 2008, 2:06pm

I think it's great that people go so insane about Brown. I think it's funny that you are excited about the Ratty though.

As far as Caesar Augustus goes (no it's not Julius!), my class decorated him for Halloween and on his Bday, I have pics.
