I love Brown so much and can hardly imagine going to a different school! However, I'd love to see more support regarding challenges students from various backgrounds may face specifically transitions regarding geographic distances and physical medical conditions.
I absolutely love Brown. The academics are amazing, the people are kind and fun, there are amazing professors and top-notch speakers who come in from around the world. The open curriculum is incredible and the student body all care about what they are doing and about the world and what is happening in it. People aren't afraid to protest for the causes they care about and it's also just absolutely beautiful. It's amazing. I would say that not having air conditioning can be pretty rough for a while. And the administration doesn't always feel like it truly cares about the students, but overall, so far I think it's been amazing.
My experience has been absolutely incredible. As everyone says, the open curriculum really makes a world of difference as it allows you to choose your own path and not be hampered by requirements that you might never need or have little to no interest in. I am an athlete and have had great experience with athletics and academics because Brown is really good about accommodating student-athletes when it comes to game and practice schedules.
