You will meet plenty of people at Brown who are all into econ and polisci! I know one student there who is a voracious reader, but reads only nonfiction polisci type stuff, unless it’s assigned reading, and lots who are into managing their own stocks etc. (even if not having much money to do so). But warning: you will also meet people who are going to challenge you to expand your horizons! (and the curriculum is designed to allow you to do just that). So if you just want to live in a little pre-business type bubble, maybe it is not the school for you. (Penn?)
