Brown University Reviews
Student & Graduate Reviews (11)
Brown University is the perfect place for undergraduate studies. Your classmates will challenge you, your professors will be well-established and informative, and there is a great social environment as well. The main downsides are in regards to food and housing, Brown has a ton of money and this could be improved, as could financial aid.
Brown University is a great location to get an education because there are so many resources around. The city of Providence is a 5-10 minute walk away from campus, the faculty are world-renowned, other great cities (Boston, NYC) are extremely easy to get to. The networking opportunities are awesome. There are plenty of job/post-grad opportunities once you graduate. The learning environment is second to none. There is also a healthy social environment. While there may not be 50-100 thousand screaming fans at a football game, there is a substantial amount of opportunity to get to know people intimately. There is a close bond that forms within each class that is possible due to the low amount of numbers. If a small community is something that you like, then Brown offers it. If you would rather have larger interactions, there are plenty of places near Brown where that can happen.
Brown University was an excellent college. I highly enjoyed the open curriculum which afforded the opportunity of students to pursue a major and craft a curriculum of their choice. Consequently, we saw many double majors. I personally needed it because I was pursuing a rigorous degree and I was able pursue refreshing courses at the same time as my neuroscience courses to broaden my experience. The feel on campus was always diverse and everyone was open to conversations of their liking. I highly recommend Brown University.
Brown allowed me to design my own education in a way that was fulfilling and enriching.
Brown is academically rigorous and the most independent, self-motivated students do the best there. The other students and the faculty are supportive and challenging, making it a wonderful place to explore intellectual interests and passions.
Brown is a beautiful place with a thoughtful, kind, and accepting student body. The weather can be truly terrible sometimes, but the student you meet make it all worth it. There are a lot of cool classes and professors.
Outstanding opportunity for personal growth through development of individual major/concentration. Beautiful campus, vibrant college life scene.

Brown is an amazing place for a student to learn and grow. It truly was a life-changing experience for me. But, some students probably would not succeed in an environment with very little boundaries and lots of freedom. For those students, I'd suggest looking at different schools.
A school with good educational experiences and great people.
