I miss brown more than anything in this world and I didn't realize how much the place meant to me until I had to temporarily leave. Nowhere else will you find students and faculty who genuinely love their school this much. the energy is infectious and I am SO fortunate to be here.

I've really loved my first year at Brown so far. The academics are of course top notch, and my classes have been amazing so far. The open curriculum is really what sets life here apart; its ethos bleeds into everything. Even though I still don't know what I'm going to study, I know I'm in the perfect place to prepare me for my future.
