need you speak more? no. no more blatant, idiotic, uninformed lies please. brown is a school for "pampered east coast kids who couldnt get into hyps?" well, i hope you can see the fallacy in this argument - many people choose brown OVER these schools because of its open curriculum, liberal environment, and emphasis on undergraduate education. horrible sports teams? try again. they recorded a winning record in almost all fall sports this year, and earned ncaa bids and ivy titles in several sports. your comments were not only indicative of personal bitterness, but ignorance. good luck asshole. |

Brown is nice, but highly overrated. The endowment is only 1.2 billion dollars, as compared to 7.2 billion at yale (for 10,000 students) and 14.5 billion at harvard (for 20,000 students).
the library of brown has about 2.2 million books. Yale has 10.3 million and Harvard has 13 million.
Brown is not rated in the top 50 research universities, but pretends to be one still. it is nice but is a haven for rich kids and academically sucks- the student faculty ration is 14.3 to 1, as compared to 5 to one at yale or 7 to one at harvard.
