Not Versailles, but appealing all the same. Nice quad, old (nice) buildings (that housed George Washington?), nicely landscaped, not a long walk from end-to-end either. [View Full Report]

The campus is gorgeous; brick buildings and green lawns, and the famous gates are wonderful. [View Full Report]

Brown was my third campus to see, and I thought it was very pretty. Later, after seeing prettier ones, I still think it's nice. [View Full Report]

The campus looked well-cared for and, once we got somewhat familiar with it, not too hard to get around. [View Full Report]

It was really nice, very green but veyr large. Perkins, where I stayed was kind of far off from everywhere else. [View Full Report]

Gorgeous old buildings mixed with new. Surrounded by huge Victorian mansions in good part of town. [View Full Report]

Brown's campus achieves this perfect synthesis of urban location (it's just up the hill from Providence) and a quiet college campus the buildings are Ivy League-looking and add that atmos [View Full Report]

The campus, in summary, was beautiful. The buildings were so pretty that I couldn't help but sketch one of them. There is even an area with lots of grass, where you can play frisbee or study. [View Full Report]

It's a very pretty campus, but I didn't get much of a vibe from it. It didn't appeal to me very much. [View Full Report]

Lovely campus--the weather was gorgeous, lots of old, regal buildings and spacious greens and flowering trees. There was a bit of trash around, but I was told that was because it was Spring Weekend. [View Full Report]

Quite frankly the most amazing campus I've been on. Ive worked at Univ. of Penn, and Univ. of De. and they don't even compare. Brown is the epitome of perfect integration of city and school [View Full Report]

Campus was very pleasant. The campus did not appear to be too spread out and everything was within walking distance. [View Full Report]

It seemed like a party school, with graffiti and my mom pointed out a poster that said Trip to the Tavern in one of the hallways. [View Full Report]

It's a pretty campus. The buildings, with a couple exceptions, were relatively low-lying, older buildings that still seemed to be in good shape. It's clear that Brown is in an urban area, but the campus has great landscaping, and plenty of gre [View Full Report]

3 is good. It was simply a letdown in comparsion to the website. Online, the greens seem spacious and the buildings quaint. In real life, the greens are tiny and cramped by the assortment of buildings. The buildings themselves seem to have a patchwork of [View Full Report]

As I said, it was beautiful regardless of the weather. The buildings were all very close to each other and the environment had a very safe feel. [View Full Report]

A bit monotonous at times, and they like to keep the traditional buildings, at least on the outside. [View Full Report]
