The best college ever I can't even describe it thats how good it is

Really inspired to go to this college! Extreamly excited!!! (:

I received my Ph.D. here, and have to say, out of the dozens of academic institutions I have been involved in before and since, it was the best. My department's faculty acted almost like a family to me, once even driving me to the hospital when I was unable to attend a meeting because of injury. Brown's bureaucracy was more navigable than that of comparable institutions. From the moment I arrived, I was connected with researchers all over the world in my field. Providence was a fun place to live, with a lively arts and culture scene, which was a comfort, because I had gotten somewhat attached to NYC before I went here. I still miss the Metropolitan Opera, though.

It's the Brown of the Ivy League. I can't speak to the academics here, but rather the campus. There is some nice architecture with the older buildings, particularly around the main quad, but something about the campus is rather non-descript. The landscaping is very plain and devoid of color. Campus was totally empty on a spring day which seemed odd. The surrounding area has some nice stores and is walking distance from downtown, but to me, the campus lacked life and soul. At least the huge bear statue on the main quad was cool and unique.

An amazing experience if you're out to explore all there is to offer and find your passions in life.
