Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Brown has a reputation that precedes itself. As an Ivy League school, Brown carries a distinction that many students desire, while knowing little about what they need or want in a liberal arts education. In that sense, Brown’s liberal nature and open curriculum exceed that of the average liberal arts school. Many students redefine and rediscover themselves in college, and Brown’s biggest strength is that it promotes individual development and self-discovery over the course of the undergraduate career. Internally, you have a lot of chances to make mistakes, which the University calls “discoveries,” in the course of your studies. It’s easy to change your concentration in the fifth or even sixth semester.

Few people who choose Brown regret it. While it’s not the school for everyone, almost anyone can find what they are looking for at Brown. Whether you are from New England or Siberia, there are clubs, organizations, classes, and fellow students who share your academic and personal interests. Most people choose Brown for its liberal nature and its strong academic resources, and few are disappointed.

Very Laid Back

Everything is acceptable at Brown. The social life is vibrant but doesn't revolve around Greek Life that much. There is a VERY large LGBTQ prescence and theres a lot about embracing your sexuality. People work hard but also are super laid back and not overly incredible.

Lately Some Robberies

There has been an increase in robberies as of late. However, campus police are super informative and tell you everytime a purse snatcher is on the loose.
