<p>I think, no matter what people tell you about one or another, this is a decision you are going to have to make based on your “gut” (and your parents, too). The environments of the cities are very different, and hence the flavor of the campuses. If the academics seem equivalent to you, then “flavor” may be the deciding factor. Obviously, if you have not spent time on both campuses, that would be priority #1 to do if possible,or even revisit, even if it is exam week (maybe even more so because it is exam time, lol: that is when the best and worst can come out!) One thing to consider re Brown (a small thing, but may have changed since you last looked, is that the IR concentration requirements just changed, so do look that up. Now much harder to “double major” IR with other studies.)</p>
