<p>I have great insight on Union and I want to apply to Brown next year. Union is a beautiful campus in a not so nice neighborhood, it’s actually interesting because the “ghetto” is across the street from Union and once you cross the street it’s beautiful old homes that the wealthy lived in. Same could be said about Providence. Union has a great location, if you want to go to NYC, Boston, Montreal, Toronto are all so close and they do school trips. Brown is so close to Boston and is near a great mall and of course Thayer Street. All schools are going to have preppy, wealthy, and unique people. Here’s the big deciding factors. If you want a big greek scene or a good sport following (hockey), pick Union. Want more of a night club scene, ability to pick your courses? Pick Brown. Both schools have graduates that have done extremely well. I lived 20 mins. from Brown and now live 20 mins. from Union with my father working at Union. Quick fact- Union was going to be an Ivy but it somehow fell though.</p>
