Campus Visit Notes for Brown University:
Visit Description:
Brown is a great school, but my visit was less than I had expected. The people were a little sporadic, with quite a few oddballs. The guide was a very interesting guy however and I enjoyed his stories of the experiences he's had up to this point.
