I cant suggest a better university to have attended. Take advantage of all the odd ball courses that are offered; not jsut the stuff that might be career related. the most influential courses i took were art and philosophy . So much for career preparation: they were great tho for life preparation.

Question
The professors are really good, very easy toUndecided
The professors are really good, very easy to get in touch and work with. The social life is also great, there is every type of person at Brown, so every type of social scene exists. Initially i was afraid of being in a smaller town like Providence being from a city, however there are some clubs and bars, and once you have a closer group of friends, it really stops being an issue. It works for me, however the students and faculty are mostly liberals.

Question
Every student is treated as an adult.Quite BrightUndecided
Every student is treated as an adult.
Very sensible drug/alcohol policy,esp. in comparison with other universities.
When speaking to students you get the impression that everyone is extremely bright,competent,with many achievments, but seldom do they display arrogance or competitiveness in the negative sense.

I believe it is the best undergraduate environment.Setbacks: Some dorms, and that fact that it becomes so liberal at times that it is not liberal in accepting more conservative opinions.
