Columbia vs Brown vs Dartmouth

<p>it doesn’t make sense to have minors at brown because the curriculum is open–you can choose to have a single major, double major, triple major, and/or take any other classes that meet your academic goals. </p>

<p>columbia is not known for its engineering, although they have a good engineering school. harvard and yale have good law schools, but this has nothing to do with the undergraduate experience.</p>

<p>brown is known for allowing students to design their own course of study, and for having unique, interdisciplinary programs like these</p>

<p><a href=“Welcome | Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations”>Welcome | Business, Entrepreneurship and Organizations; (encourages students to start their own companies or nonprofit organizations and funds students to do internships in india)</p>

<p><a href=“http://brown.edu/Departments/Joukowsky_Institute/[/url]”>http://brown.edu/Departments/Joukowsky_Institute/&lt;/a&gt; (sends undergrads to brown’s site in jordan to uncover the temple of petra)</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.watsoninstitute.org%5B/url%5D”>www.watsoninstitute.org</a> (faculty that teach international relations to undergrads include the former president of brazil, former president of chile, founder of the chinese democratic party, nikita khrushchev’s son, a former u.s. senator, former ambassadors, and many others)</p>

<p><a href=“http://neuroscience.brown.edu/[/url]”>http://neuroscience.brown.edu/&lt;/a&gt; the only undergrad neuroscience textbook was written by three brown professors who teach the intro course</p>

<p><a href=“http://www.dam.brown.edu/[/url]”>http://www.dam.brown.edu/&lt;/a&gt; house in “the castle”, it is the oldest and strongest applied math department of it’s type in the country</p>

<p><a href=“http://cs.brown.edu/[/url]”>http://cs.brown.edu/&lt;/a&gt; is essential responsible for Pixar and sends several students to work there every year</p>

<p>(this list goes on)</p>

<p>“Thayer School of Engineering is underestimated. Its as good as Columbia if not better”</p>

<p>i beg to differ, i think D’s engineering school is underestimated, but so is columbia’s and imo fu is a stronger pure engineering school, maintaining the other major plus points of D’s.</p>

<p>Brown hands down.</p>
