<p>Stop hating on Brown and listen, OP…</p>
<p>The answer to the OP’s argument is very simple:</p>
<p>1- Brown uses the S/NC. This means that students need not worry about courses that will probably not affect their future at all and focus on the courses pertaining to their majors. Sounds fair to me. Brown encourages you to study what you actually like and try to JUST learn the rest without having to worry about the courses that have no say in your future.</p>
<p>2- You actually get to CHOOSE YOUR COURSES. SOUNDS FAIR… AGAIN! so you take difficult courses that look interesting just to learn new stuff… and not have to worry about ruining your future… SOUNDS FAIR!</p>
<p>3- Brown is ranked number 1 for “happiest students”. Simply put, HAPPY students study and do well.</p>
<p>So if you still think Brown is “too easy”, then don’t apply and just go to a university that would satisfy you. I, for one, do NOT agree with you, OP. Brown is just as good as it’s peers. The only difference is… STUDENTS ARE ACTUALLY HAPPY!</p>
