Hello all! I’m currently making a pretty tough decision between attending Wesleyan and Brown as a transfer student. I’m coming from Cornell University, and I essentially want something close to the opposite of it; laid back, small, intellectual, undergraduate focused. I was an econ major at Cornell, and will major in Econ at Brown and will send out an application to the College of Social Studies this Monday; hopefully I will be admitted to that. I want to eventually go to grad school and receive a PhD in economics.

I know that there are so many similarities between the schools and I just wanted to know if any Wesleyan students could give their two cents on why Wesleyan might be a better fit for me. FYI, I’ve already attended Cornell, so I’m totally over the “Ivy” factor; I just want to know if Wesleyan can really give me an equal or better education that Brown.
