<p>Brown is “super liberal” when you compare it to many southern universities, but not more/much than any other school north of DC. and less than some. I would say instead it is more “tolerant”.</p>
<p>to start: Less WASPie, preppie than Duke. Less sports oriented than Duke or UNC. those are 2 obvious comparisons.</p>
<p>School is very diverse. There are certainly active African American students who “as a group” are very comfortable at Brown. But more to the point, most of the African American students at Brown are very comfortable without “being in a group”. Ie Brown is more integrated in my experience than most schools, and definitely more than most of the schools I’ve been to in the south.</p>
