I’m looking at transferring out of NYU, and one of the places I’m looking to transfer into is Brown University. I’ve taken two summer programs when I was in middle school at Brown and so socially I know Brown is a good fit for me, but academically I’ve (obviously) changed since middle school.

I’m looking at majoring in economics now, and I was wondering if there’s grade inflation or if there’s a strict curve? Are the professors kind and helpful? I’ve looked at the economic course catalog for both fall and spring semesters at Brown, and then looked up all the professors on rate my professor. The results weren’t too great. Are there any economic (or COE) students on this board who could guide me?
