What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year at Brown University?

Sara

Brown taught me all I needed to know. Any help you need in anything is available. I wish I'd known more about the weather, if anything.

Benjamin

Winters are cold, dark, and long, but fall and spring are gorgeous.

Ryan

I wish that I was more myself from the beginning - it's a very welcoming place and if I 'd realized that sooner I think my time there would have been even better. Also realizing how much of a paradise Brown is compared to the real world!

Lauren

I wish I had known a little more about the workload. The chemistry and neuroscience classes here are some of the best in the country, but they are also the hardest, and I have definitely have to work very hard here.

Tristan

I wish I had known better about off-campus choices.

Anne

Don't rush through it. Take advantage of your professors and read your books. It only hurts you not to.

Justa

That people here are the weirdest fucking group of people that you will ever meet, not in a good way.

John

Take your first two years more seriously, and keep in mind your potential majors. Have fun, but not too much fun. Go to more shows, plays, speeches, parties.

Bryan

How hard it was.

Justin

Openness to other ideas.
