Well, I can’t tell you why anyone would dislike Amherst – I haven’t read any negative posts about Amherst – but I can list a few reasons why people tend to love Brown, based on posts I have read on this web site:
- The open curriculum
- The ability to take a lot of courses Pass/Fail (this could also be considered a con)
- Some people claim that there is grade inflation
- Some people claim that it's not as academically rigorous as some other elite schools (this could also be considered a con)
- While you would undoubtedly encounter students of all types, as a whole the Brown student body is known for being happy.
