<p>no no, not this thread. up above there’s a neat little “search” feature where you can find many questions already answered, questions that maybe we have answered multiple times before, as you guys (applicants) do this thing every year. you just have to look at the bigger picture and realize that many have preceded you.</p>
<p>@cafesimone:</p>
<p>It’s been a year since I’ve taken the silver line, but from what I remember, it runs really frequently and takes 10-15min, maybe? So that’s from the airport to South Station. That will cost ~$2.00. </p>
<p>Then the commuter rail ride from South Station to Providence is 1hr20mins and costs $7.75. There’s room to put your baggage…and all the times I’ve taken it, it’s been very far from crowded. Costs $7.75 one-way.
You can also take the Amtrak which is 40mins and costs ~$30+</p>
<p>So if you take the suggested route, it’d be $9.75 to get you as far as the bus takes you, then a cab ride(which you’ll need to do for both situations). </p>
<p>You can also fly into Providence and take the airport limo shuttle that modestmelody is referring to which does cost $11 exactly and will take you right up to the top of the hill. Though, as he noted, it only comes once an hour.</p>
<p>i thought i said that</p>
<p>Ahhh didn’t see that one, sorry.</p>
<p>Any info on the sign language classes?</p>
<p>I hear Brown’s really humanities oriented. How’s the math here, whatever that means?</p>
<p>I have a question: </p>
<ol>
<li>Are there very many interracial relationships at Brown?</li>
</ol>
<p>all I know is that we have sign language.</p>
<p>Iggi, we have one of the best applied math departments in the country and are very strong in math and the physical sciences already. This has come up a lot lately, use the search function. Icebox4 is an AM concentrator and wrote about it extensively last week.</p>
<p>Obstinate-- I have no idea. Not sure anyone does. As common as anywhere else? I guess I know a fair number of Asian-Caucasian couples.</p>
<p>
You’ll find that there aren’t “very many” relationships at Brown, period. Dating is simply not the norm at most colleges.</p>
<p>That said, I agree with modest that it’s common and would certainly not be looked upon as unusual.</p>
<p>But there are relationships, right? </p>
<p>I’m not asking about casual hook-ups or whatnot, but finding actual long-term relationships and all.</p>
<p>Some people find them. A fair number don’t. Plenty make it through four years without ever having one. You might end up in one. But I wouldn’t count on it.</p>
<p>1) Can You PayTuition via Credit Card at Brown?</p>
<p>2) What Best hotels for parents to stay in Sept(to help our daughter to move in)?</p>
<p>1) No. :(. No frequent flier miles for tuition. It sucks.</p>
<p>2) Go to Google Maps, type “hotels near 02906” and take whatever hotel is cheapest/nearby. There are many-- a Marriot, a Radisson, etc right in the city of Providence, but if you’re renting a car, I would stay in Warwick or Seekonk to save money.</p>
<p>Oh, and I asked about interracial relationships because I’ve noticed that campuses that have more of them are often more open to mixing between races and classes, which is a must for me.</p>
<p>Plus being in one would be ideal.</p>
<p>On the ideal thing… why?</p>
<p>Isn’t the true ideal to be in a relationship with someone you love regardless of their race?</p>
<p>The truth is there are as many relationships here as most other colleges/universities that aren’t religiously affiliated (where I get the impression you get far more serious relationships).</p>
<p>Was just curious-what do current students think of the recent Spring Weekend? How did it compare to past ones?</p>
<p>Flaming Lips was the best weekend that I’ve had at Brown. The acts this year were extremely lame.</p>
<p>A good question, indeed modest. It wholesomely goes with the race vs. culture topic I often debate with my brother on. Does **what **you are dictate **who **you are? This is the million dollar question to ponder. Many, many people identify with a culture that corresponds with their respective ethnicity. They take pride in that. They like to meet people that correspond with that culture, and ultimately find a significant other woh also identifies with that culture. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule but for the most part this seems to be the case.</p>
<p>However, what about the minority of people who don’t associate their ethnicity with their culture?That what they are isn’t necessarily who they are? There are many people out there whom choose that route for whatever reason. </p>
<p>I’d just like to be somewhere in which what I am wouldn’t be the standard for who I am, or can be. If that makes any sense. Like, say, if there was another person who identified with my culture, but didn’t look like what I am, it wouldn’t be frowned upon. </p>
<p>I shoud go further into detail, but later.</p>
<p>Hmmm… quick technical question: if i choose to work on campus, do I need to fill out taxes…?</p>
<p>They’ll give you a … W-9 I think is the form to fill out and will take taxes out of your paycheck.</p>
