Why Brown? “Brown was the first college that caught my interest as a sophomore in high school. The concept of an open curriculum was a dream after being told exactly what to take every year throughout schooling. Brown is also a place where there is freedom to be who you are and grow as an individual without fear of judgement. Knowing I can pursue my dreams and get top quality assistance along the way is a dream come true.”
