@Overtheline : I share your concerns regarding students choosing their reach schools. “Fit” not “Prestige” should be the determining factor in the process.
This New York Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/02/education/edlife/stress-social-media-and-suicide-on-campus.html) is a must-read for parents before they assist their children choosing where they should attend college. Brown’s name is missing from the article. A quick Google search will only find some special cases. Brown does not have any “Face” or “Syndrom” associated with it for many good reasons.
