Campus Visit Notes for Brown University:
Visit Description:
The overall impression was that this would be an amazing place to come and participate in extracurricular activities, but there was not much emphasis on academics. To be fair, that might be because our tour ran long and we missed some of the info session. Brown students seem incredibly engaged in their campus community, and appeared to be quite happy.
