Far from it! Brown is best known for being head over heels with artsy stuff. The attention given to the arts at Brown is often way out of proportion to the attention given to other sections of the school. We have a little sister of a school down the hill from us, the Rhode Island School of Design, and students from both campuses can take classes at each others' schools.

As for the track team, it's got pretty standard membership for a college track team as far as I can tell. I'm not on the Emi route irl (or at least my Emi doesn't run track) so I'm afraid I've never been to a track meet here :P

Ah, that is interesting, so in Brown they really like art, that's nice to hear, and interesting that you have a little sister school as well, I don't think it's common to see that. :D
And yet another question, about the festivals, do you have festivals similar in KS and how do you organize them? I think it'll be interesting to hear.

So in most American universities we don't have "festivals" in the sense of the ones often seen and done in Japan. However, individual student groups and clubs put on events using their own resources. Depending on the group, these can vary in size and scale dramatically. Some groups, notably the Asian student groups, band together to set up food stalls and have events and shows together. The last one I attended reminded me of the festival in Act 1 of KS. The biggest event by far is the Spring Weekend event, which involves a big outdoor concert among other things. However, this is not romantic in the slightest, and most students use it as an excuse to get high. :)

Just wondering, is the Track also on campus because, there is a combination American football/soccer goal in the background.

Well, we have two tracks on campus, one indoor and one outdoor. The outdoor one is a little ways from campus proper, so it usually takes a long walk or a bus ride to get there. This is what it looks like.

My grandpa went to Brown after he came back from the war, so there was a definite boggle moment. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have approved of his alma mater being used as the backdrop for an eroge, but things happen. :)

Given the events of the route that is entirely appropriate :P

Facilities are a bunch of uptight assholes on the best of days. You can technically draw on the walls, but you have to repaint the walls the exact shade of white they were to begin with or you get beaten about the head and face with fines, fines, and more fines.

Oh man I should go there and say I want to enroll, since most colleges ask why and what makes you blahblah material.

So if I get "What made you want to enroll in our fine institute?"
I played this game and your college was like there and all, and you can get with disabled chicks and like do it with them! YEAH!

Or if I get "What makes you Brown Material?"
*List my mental disabilities* am I qualified?

This should be one of the things that Brown campus tour guides should mention, like in a 'That's why I chose Brown' music video.
