Why Brown?: “I chose Brown due to the alumni and post-collegiate network available, in addition to the uniquely structured education system. The open curriculum's fluidity allows me to take courses I am genuinely passionate about while being able to explore courses with a low-risk, pass-fail alternative. This rigorous, yet minimally stress-inducing academic environment allows me to pursue my intellectual and career interests while continuing to enjoy the social and extra-curricular elements of college life.”
