We asked Gregory...
What are the most popular student activities/groups?
Like most schools there are numerous groups on campus ranging from Brown Democrats to gospel choir. I'm on the Brown Ski team, which tends to be like a group of brothers. We go up in January to a mountain in New Hampshire, and live in a house together and ski every day. In general, friends are easy to come by at Brown. Kids leave their doors open all the time, and friends always just walk in. It sometimes makes doing work difficult, but if I have work I really need to get done, I just go to the library. The dating scene is present, but not over present. Basically, you can theoretically get whatever you want. If you go to parties, the girls there will run the entire spectrum. Most parties are at frats, but Brown frats are not like animal house, and tend to be pretty mundane. Not everyone drinks either. You can go to a party and not drink, or you can go out to dinner, or around Providence on a Saturday and just chill with friends.
