<p>To answer your opinions about Brown:</p>
<p>Pros: closer, [true] safer [eh, you won’t get killed living in Durham for 4 years], ivy league, slightly better reputation [both have good reputations]
Cons: crappy weather, [this year we had record-high weather…not sure if this will be the norm, but you know the deal with changing temperatures!] hippy/too liberal culture [an exaggeration that is mitigated once you are here], too much weed, terrible dorms (i’ve been in them) [where I (have) lived is only a small part of the experience. It’s been mostly the people that make it what it is. And after visiting my friends at other schools, I’ve realized that housing at Brown is not a complete ****-hole like people make it out to be. Relative to other Ivies, however, it is shabby.]</p>
