Han

Brown University is a perfect institution for people who have high intellectual level but does not know what they want to do. It is a place that really allows you to explore. Campus is deeply integrated with the city of Providence; the campus is adjacent to Thayer Street, which is one of the most central street crowded with the local people as well as students. Still, the residential halls are secluded, and the fraternity as well as bars contribute in making a great night life. Sex-Power-God, an annual party at Brown, is amazing.
