<p>As far as Brown and Johns Hopkins go, they’ve always seemed remarkably similar to me. There campuses had the same sort of vibe, and the kinds students at both schools seemed similar: casually smart, friendly, laid-back. You couldn’t go wrong with either one. Both are on the happiest students list. Brown obviously has a leg up in the prestige department, so ask youself if that matters to you. I wouldn’t say that the job prospects coming out of Brown would be better than Tufts. Tufts definitely has the leg up in internation relations (ranked #1 or #2, I think). It also has a great study abroad department, which would probably be important to you if you’re interested in international business/relations. In terms of location, Boston trumps Providence, but they’re both cities. Have you checked out the Tufts facebook group. The people attending seem like pretty cool kids to me. And, as a plus, I’ll be there, and I am awesome. But I’m biased, obviously, as I love Tufts. IMO you couldn’t go wrong with either school though. How is your finanical aid situation? That might be very important.</p>
