Students Speak Out On Overall Experience

“Before I came to Brown, I didn't think there would be a big difference between the academics, particularly advising, at the schools I was looking at. It is a big deal. The possibilities that an open curriculum provides can be a big factor in your educational career. Freshman year I took a lot of classes in a concentration I didn't end up pursuing. The switch wouldn't have been so easy if it wasn't for the open curriculum. It makes both the students and the professors care more. Professors know you want to be in their classes.”

“Given the choice to do it over again, I would definitely come to Brown. Before I came to college, I never thought that the size of the school would be something really important to me. Now I know I would never want to go to a school that was any bigger. I think the size really lets you get to know a lot of people here. All my friends who just graduated are depressed that they're leaving. I have friends at other schools who are thrilled to be getting out after four years.”
