Why Brown? “The thought of being over 3,000 miles from home terrified me at first, but I figured there was no better time than the present to explore the world and get out of my comfort zone! After researching Brown, I became intrigued by the open curriculum, the shopping period, and the small class sizes. Once I visited the school, I fell in love with the campus and am excited to brave my first real winter in the snow. Brown is going to give me the opportunity to follow my dreams and play Division I water polo while receiving a rigorous, elite education.”
