Campus Visit Notes for Brown University


Visit Description:

I attended Brown as part of an overnight stay and it really showed me how much like a family this university is. My host was so sweet and nice and everyone on our floor of the dorm was welcoming adn warm. By the end of the evening, we were hanigng out in dorms and crakcing jokes. Everyone was happy with life, unbelievably happy with Brown and just honest an relaxed about the atmostphere. Studnets were very frank too, like on student told me how Japanese was so fdifficult and another told me to get a thick wool comfortor if I go there becaysre they didn't turn on the heating until later. When i ASKED kids about acadmemics, they said its tough to get stressed in Brown because everyone is so easygoing. When I asked directions, kids wouldn't just tell you, they'd ACCOMPANY you 2 make sure yiou got safe!
Is Brown an amazing university? hell yeah! In person, it just doesn't do its name justice.

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

The V-DUB and Josiah's are the best on campus. Nuff said.
