Why Brown? “I chose Brown because of its open curriculum and diverse community. I liked that the open curriculum didn't confine me to a single track and would allow me to actively shape my academic journey, and that the Brown community was so diverse, allowing for self-exploration and discovery. I also really liked Providence as a city, Brown's campus, and the students I interacted with while visiting Brown.”
