The stereotypical Brown student is into postmodernism, drinking homemade tea out of jars, and smoking weed. You'd actually be surprised how many Brown students are concentrating (not majoring!) in either science or engineering -- there's a very prominent Pre-Med group here too. On the other hand, there is a significant 'liberal arts' influence/feel to the school. In other words, as a science student, you are "grounded" to some extent by having friends that are heavily invested in the liberal arts (and vice-versa). Brown students don't use more drugs than the average college student, but the school has a more relaxed (and student-friendly) atmosphere than the other ivy leagues, which probably gives it that reputation...

There is an assumption that most of the students at Brown are rich, hipsters, promiscuous, and arrogance, but this is not the truth. Yes, there are rich students, there are hipsters, there are students who are promiscuous and arrogance, and this is true at most East Coast, and especially the Ivy League, but it is incorrect to believe that this the image of the typical Brown students. I cannot give a typical description of what a Brown student looks like or do as we are not homogeneous in these categories. However, I would say that the large majority of the students at Brown shares the values of being self-motivated, open-minded, and critical (as in analytical) toward their experiences at Brown. And yes, Brown students tend to be very liberal in ideologies but they are tolerant and respectful towards others' ideologies. And unlike the lazy stereotype of the Brown student who takes every class "Pass/Fail", Brown students are quite responsible toward their education as they are given the opportunity (and burden) of creating their own educational experience.
