Why Brown? “I chose Brown first and foremost because of the open curriculum and outstanding academic opportunities. I knew that I wanted to continue my love of learning, while exploring new interests, and Brown provided the ideal environment for doing so. Being able to look at the campus through the lens of a student-athlete on my official visit solidified that this was going to be the right place for me.”
