Brown University Top Questions

I brag that I have absolutely NO BASICS! The concept of it is still so amazing to me. While my friends are required to take English, History, etc., I can take a class about Johann Sebastian Bach or the behavior of animals without a load of requirements. I think this is the real way to figure out one's passion. I only wish every school had this option so my friends could enjoy it too.

When I'm talking to my friends about Brown, I brag about not having to take general required classes which I do not want to take. They complain about required sciences or literature classes which simply do not exist at Brown. I also brag about the smart and talented people who I get to live, learn, and interact with on a daily basis. College is really more about the connections you make and the people you meet than the education, and at Brown, you meet great people while getting a great education.
