I didn’t even know what Brown was until a couple of years ago when he told me about it. He was so passionate about it and put a lot of research into it. It was and is a big stretch for our family since we have to pay in full, but having experienced orientation, seeing the advising and support my son’s gotten, as well as not having to deal with the rat race to get into a class, I’m really grateful my kid goes to Brown. Candidly, we are paying for it but still. The open curriculum just boggles my mind, as well as the dean of the college encouraging all the students to discover their passion. My son is able to concentrate in an area he wants vs feeling the pressure to major in biology to be efficient with his schedule. The city is great and very progressive and if I had to drop my kid into a place 2620 miles away from home, I’m really glad I did. If you get a sense from your son that he’s done his research homework and can really articulate why he wants to go to Brown (as well as being able to afford it), I say go for it!
