Why Brown Statement: “I was always especially drawn to Brown because I felt that the community and the types of people who went there really reflected my own personality and values. I wanted to go somewhere where people cared about making a difference in the world and were unafraid to be themselves, and pretty soon after stepping on campus I knew it was where I wanted to be for the next four years. I am beyond excited to be entering the Brown community!"
