Brown University Top Questions

They have 27 course requirements in engineering.

Brown is an amazing place. I have been so happy here (and when I haven't been for whatever personal reason, Psych Services is really great and generally quite helpful).

I wish I had known that Brown had a place for everyone. From the partiers, quiet kids, and every human in the middle, there are friends and activities for everyone!

Don't explore too many classes in a semester and make sure to start fulfilling concentration and pre-med reqs.

I wish I had known not to be nervous about going to an Ivy League school. Some celebrities do go to Brown, but it really isn't a big deal. Students are treated equally, from movie stars and super rich legacys to average joe kids here on scholarship. Personality is way more important than anything else.

I wish I had had a better sense of Providence as a city. Sometimes I feel like people isolate themselves around the campus area, so I wish that I knew Providence a bit better. If I had possessed that knowledge before coming here, then I would feel like I had a better understanding of where I am in relation to Providence as a whole.

How amazing it would be, it would have matriculation decisions much easier. Also, how much this school would change me--but in a very positive way.

How rich many of the other students were.

While I do wish that I knew some people already attending the school to ease the transition, there is very little that I wish I had known before I a came to Brown University. I feel that it is important to let college shape you as a person, and to learn as well as mature while at school. I have never felt out of place when I am not versed on an issue or activity, and have had the ability to learn while at school; in general, at Brown, people and organizations are very accepting and welcoming to all people.
