I currently have daughters at both Brown & Amherst who specifically chose the schools with the open curriculum in mind as a priority

Maybe this is a dumb question, but given that your daughters have wide-ranging interests (good for them) and have (or will) take courses in a variety of departments (again, good for them) – then why was the open curriculum a priority ?

Or to put it another way: what is the downside of schools with distribution requirements, if your course selection will be broad enough to fufill distribution requirements anyway ?
