Brown University Visit Report by tetrisfan

Visit Activities:

Information Session: Yes - Presented by a member of the admissions committee. Since we were a small group, the whole session comprised pretty much only questions. Very helpful, got a sense of what Brown wants

Campus Tour: Yes - Guided by a sophomore. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and funny. Genuinely loved Brown. Even gave us his email to contact him with further questions.

Campus:

---

Everyone was out on the green, talking or just hanging out, even though finals start soon. I got lost a few times, and they were more than happy to point me on track.

---

The admissions officer who presented the info session was very cheerful, and was extremely polite to everyone.

---

Compact, green, well-kept, but offering everything that a student would need.

---

---

Went into a friend's. Typical, what one would expect for a college student. Not over-the-top or very fancy.

---

The blue light and safe ride systems made the campus seem very safe. Tour guide couldn't recall any major security breaches during his time.

---

---

Off-Campus:

---

Residential committee, removed from the downtown area. Seemed perfectly fine.

---

I liked what I saw of Providence...which, admittedly, isn't much

I thought Brown was fantastic, and this visit consolidated it as my first choice. The amazingly laid-back atmosphere, friendly students, top-notch academics, enviable location and Ivy allure are just too much to resist :)

Dining/Restaurant Recommendations or Comments:

Ate at the Blue Room. Decent sandwiches.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Park at the visitor parking lot, it's a short walk from the centre of campus.
