Academics at Brown University

A

Fantastic Open Curriculum

Brown's academic strength lies in its flexibility. Though some of the required courses for your major may be "ehh", there are always plenty of fantastic electives available for students - and they run the gamut from Egyptian hieroglyphics to analysis of C.S. Lewis's novels. The sky's the limit.

Campus Housing at Brown University

C+

Grody at Best

Though there are a few exceptions, most of Brown's dorms haven't been properly updated in the last three decades. They're functional, but you gotta work to make them homey and comfortable.

Campus Strictness at Brown University

A+

Freedom at Its Best

Brown has a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy when it comes to students' social lives. For the most part, the university lets students be; the only exceptions are in instances of flagrantly illegal/ dangerous behavior. It's just the right balance between taking care of students and letting students have fun.
