Is there some reason why you have ruled out all the liberal arts colleges (LACs)? If you like Brown, there are many Brown-like LACs out there, some of which are a bit less competitive to get into. Big schools have their strong points-lots of variety in classes and people, more research opportunities, very lively student towns-but LACs offer a different kind of education, as you may have glimpsed, in part, at Brown.

Take a look at Wesleyan, Oberlin, and Grinnell to get a feel for schools that are ‘like Brown’ culturally, but smaller and perhaps, more personal.
