Campus Visit Notes for Brown University:
Visit Description:
I attended "A Day On College Hill". I was quite impressed with all the activities, info sessions for students and parents and the overall experience. From all the colleges I visited, Brown was the class act. I really felt I at home!. I had already visited a couple of other ivies ( Dartmouth, Yale ) but this experience made my decision to enroll very easy to make.
Hotel/Lodging Recommendations or Comments:
Hotels are kind of expensive. Try to book a bed and breakfast way in advance.
Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
Parking is bad. Just get a cab from your hotel. Do not rent a car!
