About Me

Intro

Chances are, you've heard of my Ivy League status and granola-consuming ways, but there's more to me than that. I also eat hummus. Oh, and I'm the second youngest out of the Ivy Leagues.

Sometimes my older siblings give me a hard time about my age. Harvard's beef with me is pretty hardcore for my students. We're more about a peaceful co-existence over here than being cutthroat, though.

When it comes down to it, I try to embrace everyone…even that kid with no friends in your class. C'mon, give Lonesome Joe a chance. I would. I'm super chill like that.

In fact, I was the first Ivy league school to accept people of any religion. I like to make my campus a warm, fuzzy environment where everyone feels welcome. College should be about embracing our differences, bro.

I might be called "brown," but on the inside I'm really green. I was voted one of the top environmentally friendly schools in the country. I really care about saving the world—one soda can at a time.

Name

Bruno the Bear

Hometown

Providence, a.k.a. the only place with people in Rhode Island.

Birthdate

1764

Body Type

There are 6,455 students who wear seal brown and cardinal red to support the Bears. Luckily, I've got 143 acres to let them roam.

Current Living Situation

Most of my students live on campus since I have plenty of space in the dorms. If you want to ditch me and live around town (I'll try to keep a stiff upper lip), you'll have to get special permission and most likely will run into your professor while out grocery shopping. Don't say I didn't warn you.

My dorms are really nice. Worried about having an annoying roommate? Worry not. We'll match you up with someone who shares your sleeping and study habits. Normally you're matched with someone of the same legal gender, but we also offer gender-neutral housing. This was specially designed for people in the LGBT community, those who do not identify with any gender, and their allies. We want to make sure everyone lives in a place where they feel safe and comfortable.

Relationship Status

It's complicated with the other Ivy Leagues. I thought we were friends, but sometimes they try to act better than me. Especially Harvard. Our rivalry is deep, man.

Religion

My motto is "In Deo Speramus" (or "in God we hope"), but I'm open to all religions. If you hail from Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam, or even those who worship the almighty Cthulu, you'll find a home on my campus. In fact, I was the first Ivy League to let any religion through my doors. Whatever floats your boat.

Politics

I'm known for being liberal, even more so than my other Ivy League friends. The truth is, most of my faculty vote to the left, and the students do, too.

You should apply to me if...

you're a granola-crunching, hike-loving brainiac with big ideas for saving the world.
