While there is certainly a wide variety of cultures on both campuses, and you can find “students like you” and also not like you to expand your horizons, there is still a predominant “flavor”. Princeton’s flavor is more country club prep, and Brown’s is more hipster, mellow, tolerant. (My student is anti-hipster and loves Brown.) I also have the general impression that Brown still has more mixing of cultures than Princeton. This is just my impression from knowing both schools; Brown better than Princeton I will admit.
