<p>Prestige is very irrelevant in this case. The people who are smart enough eg. good employers, will not like one better because of the ‘prestige’ unless they have a connection to either school.
Each school has their own strong programs, and Brown is located in Providence, RI whilst Stanford in Palo Alto, CA. The environment is genuinely different.
One must research more into the schools if they are lucky enough to consider the two.</p>
