Stereotypical students at Brown

I have two questions…:)

I’ve heard that Brown is known as having relaxed atmosphere with very liberal, “non-conformist” students.
What makes a school “laid-back” or not competitive?
i.e., Johns Hopkins is famous for its cutthroat competitiveness…
So what is the difference between JHU and Brown?
Is it the professors? grading system? classroom atmosphere?

Is Brown a good choice for nerds who are good at math and science stuff but not really good at langauge or art (I’m one of them)?
