Someone identifying as a “queer feminist punk-rock loving sort of guy” would fit in very well at Brown, imo. I don’t think it’s too small – quite the opposite, actually, though that’s definitely a personal thing. Your concern about broadening your horizons may be legitimate, but again, it depends on you. You need to take charge of seeking classes in new areas yourself; you don’t have distribution requirements to help out. Some may find this more conducive to horizon-broadening; others may think it makes it more difficult.

I will say that I think your areas of interest would be well-served at Brown. There’s the Haffenreffer Museum, the Annmary Brown Memorial, the John Carter Brown Library, all the rare books and museum objects you can access via the Hay… Brown is a reach for everyone, but I would consider it.
