Brown University Top Questions

After spending a semester on campus I can say that applying ED was one of the better decisions I've made in the past few years. Providence and its east side is a great place for a college. Anyone checking the school out should stop for Indian or Pizza on Thayer. Providence could be a bit more lively. However, it is very easily navigated and is a very mellow city.

Brown was an incredible and life-changing place to go to school. I loved the inspiring, smart, funny & diverse people I met, the physical beauty of the school, the fun & funky neighborhoods of Providence, the RISD connection, the seasons, the Brown Band, the Rhode Island accents... everything!

Brown is amazing! Class sizes are great and course options are diverse and interesting. The only thing i would change about Brown is location. Providence is kind of boring and isolated from other places.

Liberal education to the max. find yourslelf.

The best thing about Brown is the open curriculum since I can choose my own path.

I like the size of the campus, the intellectual atmosphere, the open curriculum, meeting students from various backgrounds.

I love living in a "city" that is very managable and welcoming to students. Thayer St. is extremely college-friendly, the environment on campus is aweseome. Everyone here is happy, they are so glad to be here and I've never heard anyone say they would want to be at another school. There is a great mix of different types of people and types of social scenes to be a part of. I love it!

very academically supportive, its not very competetive between peers, everyone encourages each other. the grading system and new curriculum allow for great flexibility. brown is great in that it has a campus but is also within a city, you can quickly hop downtown and be in a city enviroment with other college students or you can stay on campus where there is a small frat/sorority life and other house parties and campus events. you essentially get the best of both worlds. there is a great political body, activism is pretty rampant but not too offensive. everyone ive talked to that goes to brown is so glad they made that choice, everyone, no matter your likes/disklikes personality goals etc , is happy here. good party scene but there are definitely other alternatives. the police are great, they dont really care about drinking.partying.pot to the extent that they would punish you, a verbal warning is probably the worst you would receive. i love brown!

Brown is the perfect size. Providence is a great college town, not too big but big enough so there is also something to do.

I would change the weather. The weather is a large downer and if it was better it would make numerous things better
