Why Brown? “As a student with wide interests, I considered the flexibility and freedom of the Brown curriculum a major factor in my decision. I am eager to enroll in interesting courses that I might not have chosen otherwise and make the Brown curriculum my own. I am also excited to be a part of a diverse community, working with students from all over the world both on the pitch and in the classroom. I chose Brown because after just one visit, I sensed a genuine connection among students of all types."
