Why Brown? “Brown is an unusually intellectually rich place where students are not bound by traditional structures. At Brown, students combine their creative passion and academic hunger in ways that are impossible at any other university. These are not mere conjectures – I learned about Brown by speaking with students about my passions and their own interests. Conversations on topics ranging from their academic and athletic interests to Rick and Morty to political discourse proved to me how special Brown is. Whether you are an athlete, an academic, or an artist, every person and idea is not only accepted at Brown but welcomed.”
