Brown University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Brown University? Why?

Marcus

The worst thing is the financial aid simply because it includes loans which is not desirable by any student.

Pratik

too much drinking

mara

Student recreational facilities: the gyms are small, there is no student union

Raphael

Rich people and athletes

David

Sometimes people are so smart and intimidating, it's hard to put yourself out there and establish a real relationship. You may fear their judgement or ridicule, but in the end you have to know they feel the exact same way and you just have to relax.

Serin

Perhaps there is too much partying. If one wishes to go to a party, there will always be one, or even three available. Academic advisors could also be a little more helpful, but maybe I was just assigned a less compatible one.

Lacy

The advising is not up to par.

Rashid

One aspect of Brown I do not like is the dearth of faculty focusing on Islam, and the Middle East. In this modern era, an institution like Brown should have an emphasis on these fields and it is only in the University's best interest to add these programs. Advising, in my experience, has also not been the best, and with an open curriculim, strong advising is of the utmost importance.
