Why Brown? “One of the most captivating things about Brown, in my opinion, was the diverse variety of people I interacted with while I was there, and the sense of inclusion I felt despite my brief visit. Every single person I had the chance to speak with had a life story that I found fascinating. I chose Brown so I could participate in a community that enjoys challenges and is driven to succeed.”
