I try not to brag, because I don't want to seem stuck up. Plus, I think it's a very unbecoming trait that I don't want to pick up.
I like to talk about how my school doesn't really have any general requirements. My school really cares about its students and makes sure that we are learning what WE want to learn, and have time to do so in the limited time frame that four years provides. That is why many students take the opportunity to double major in what seem to be completely different disciplines, such as biology and economics. Our flexible curriculum allows students to explore fields that they would perhaps otherwise not have time to or even dreamed about exploring.
Definitely the open curriculum.
The interesting classes that I get to take.
Its the best place ever where I have so much freedom and so many opportunities and everyone is super nice and I love it.
Brown's prides in its open curriculam. Without any general requirements, undgraduates are allowed to explore their interests freely. With a huge array of majors and the ability to create your own major, literally anything is possible at Brown. And as Brown students, we take advatage of that allow our futures to be fashion themselves any way we choose.
I talk about how I don't have to take any general education requirements. Very often, my friends tell me that they feel restricted or upset that they have to take x number of science classes or y number of math classes every year when all they want to do is take more English classes. I don't have that problem at my school. I also love the location. Providence is a pretty cool city, Boston's only an hour by train, and Thayer street (and the streets around it) have a lot of cool restaurants.
I brag about the awesome environment at Brown University. My fellow students are some of the most engaging people I've ever met, each with a distinct perspective. Everyone has a unique talent, from improvising on the keyboard to riding a unicycle. I have yet to meet a student at Brown who treated me with disrespect for any reason. All of the students at Brown have a love of knowledge and natural curiousity that make them ideal classmates.
Based on my visits to my friends' colleges, I think the student body at Brown is much more friendly than any other I've experienced. No one is judgemental or unfriendly; everyone respects the quirks of others, and as a result, the atmosphere at Brown among students is always positive. It's really great to know that I can be myself with confidence and not be concerned about fitting in.
The transition into college can be difficult and stressful, but on my recent winter recess I could not help to brag about my school: Brown University. When telling friends about what its like going to a new school and living in a new state, the thing I brag about most is the culture of the student body. Coming from a small, private high school to a large, international university has allowed me to befriend people not only from across the U.S. but hailing from around the world. It has wonderful meeting such a diverse, multicultural group of friends.
I brag that I have absolutely NO BASICS! The concept of it is still so amazing to me. While my friends are required to take English, History, etc., I can take a class about Johann Sebastian Bach or the behavior of animals without a load of requirements. I think this is the real way to figure out one's passion. I only wish every school had this option so my friends could enjoy it too.
When I'm talking to my friends about Brown, I brag about not having to take general required classes which I do not want to take. They complain about required sciences or literature classes which simply do not exist at Brown. I also brag about the smart and talented people who I get to live, learn, and interact with on a daily basis. College is really more about the connections you make and the people you meet than the education, and at Brown, you meet great people while getting a great education.
Providence is a great accesible city to go to college in.
The one thing that I brag to my friends the most is how I can freely choose whatever class that I want. Also for the classes I can choose to take it pass/fail.
I love everything at my school. In fact, when I am asked come up with something negative about Brown, I can't.
There's an open curriculum so it's up to you to choose what you want to take. There are so many great classes and professors that it will make your learning experience fulfilling and personalized.
How happy everyone is, how little pressure/stress, how good the classes are, how much money is put out there for funding student activities/research, how great my dorm room is, how smart the people are.
Brown offers its students a freedom and responsibility to take shape of their own course of study. I enjoy the liberal, friendly atmosphere that results from this.
It's very prestigious and close home.
Very few rules, very mature campus, get to be who you want to be with plenty of resonsibility
Diversity, stimulating classes, awesome curriculum
There's no need to brag really. I don't think bragging suits the personality of the student body for the most part anyway.
-open cirriculum/no core requirements -grading system (A, B, C, No credit), no pluses or minuses -diverse student body -laid back yet challenging academics -liberal students -providence, rhode island as the perfect college location
