Brown has also pioneered interdisciplinary studies across a wide range of topics- so CS and poli sci? CS and bio? CS and psych/cog sci? and of course- CS and Applied Math (one of the strongest departments at Brown). I can’t fathom the comment “not known for CS”. It’s not Cal Tech or MIT, but for a liberal arts education, it is an extremely strong CS department/experience.

Agree that Yale has a bigger endowment and more money to spend. And agree that Yale’s residential college system makes it much harder for a Freshman to fall through the cracks before the natural friendship groups form.

I think it’s great that this student will get to visit both!
