The best description of Brown University, from Bess Kalb. (And to be clear, the heirs and star's kids are invariably also in that carton.)
besskalb.substack.com/p/brown-

Brown is the best kind of cult: Bright teenagers who want to do something creative about the world in a place that indulges and guides them in equal measure. A handful of them are Greek shipping heirs or a movie star’s kid but most are just the best people I have ever met. It’s just a giant carton of good eggs.
