<p>You can spin this all you want. Those of you on this discussion Board started the discussion about NU being better than (or a peer) of many Ivies, etc. The fact is Brown handily beats NU among students picking between the two schools–year after year. The market can’t be that wrong for so many years; the surveys cannot be wrong year after year; the rankings cannot be wrong year after year. Brown is not fading and it is sophistry to suggest NU is a better school --or even a peer–in my opinion. People on the Brown CC discussion Boards did not talk about NU in a negative light, so I was caught by the nonsense on this discussion Board. I suggest you go to the common set data posted at Brown for factual information – I did not make up any data. That is the correct source to get data about a college. </p>
<p>For the record, my two children did not apply to NU–they attend S and Y. You do not have to make this personal. I am trying to rebut with data and rankings the opinions stated above.</p>
