Which has a better undergrad experience?

I think it really depends. Most people either love or really dislike Brown because of its Open Curriculum–if you like the idea of being able to take charge and design your own education, Brown is probably better than all the other schools listed (Yale/Dartmouth, I think, are the other schools on the list that could match Brown for undergrad focus). If you’d rather have a structured curriculum, Brown could be pretty terrible, and you might be better off at Columbia.
It varies by person, obviously, but I’d put Brown right below Yale at the top of the list.
