“I think Brown is a place where people have a couple really good, personal experiences with professors. You go to their office hours or out for a drink and really spend a lot of time together. That’s balanced with your lecture courses, where you go or you...”

Guys & Girls

According to the rumors, the headshots Brown requires with every application are meant to ensure Brown’s reputation for having the most attractive Ivy League students. Whether or not you believe this rumor is entirely a matter of taste (and whether you consider “attractive Ivy League student” an oxymoron). In general, students tend to agree that the admissions office did a fabulous job choosing interesting and enjoyable classmates, but they are a little more critical when it comes to sharing anything more...

Athletics

Brown is not an overly athletic school. Almost every student played some varsity sport in high school, but for most students, academics and other extra-curricular activities come before athletics. However, there are a full range of varsity sports and less intense club and intramural sports. Many Brown students go for runs around campus, or they find themselves playing catch or Frisbee on the Main Green.

Sports are just one aspect of social life. They help relieve stress from the academic rigors of the...
