The word from: the Students

The unconventional approach to life and learning conducted by Brown University is quite visible on their willingness to use untested, experimental methods of learning, like the 2 week free classes when students can go to whatever class they want as to let them choose which best fits their needs. A system that treats students fairly and lets them have freedom of choice and even if some can go off track there are measures and ways to aid anyone succeeding despite the odds. Professors in general are good, of course still hit or miss sometimes but every department has amazing professors that will help and aid in anything. As for the academics it's up to the students to get involved as much as they want.

Most of the students education comes from participating in other activities and getting involved with the student body in general. They often gather to think and discuss important issues, from life to politics, society to global affairs, relationships among others. Brown students organize many parties mainly dorm hosted but if you're not into parties you're still welcome at Brown University of course. Aside from parties students organize cultural activities as well, such as indie bands, student performances, jazz, dancing and many others.

It's unique student body composed of people from different backgrounds, different styles and ideals makes it a very diverse place to study in. All united under their love for learning. Most people here are atypical to fashion, music taste and academic interests. Overall it's quite laid-back and casual community, friendly and everyone goes well with one another.
