We walked the campus on our own, my mom attended school there. We located her dorm form the 1950's, which was part of Pembroke College. They have a memorial to the all-girls school. Very cool. Book store is huge! It put the hook in my daughter, need to start saving. Parking is limited. Be patient.
Really enjoyed our visit at Brown. The students were so proud of the campus and it's history. The campus is absolutely beautifuk!
Brown is located on top of the hill and is very well blended in with the community and the neighboring schools.
The front gates are worth the trip, make sure you take a camera...this University has a beautiful campus.
We took a driving tour of this campus - it is simply beautiful. Old stately buildings and winding streets. A must see if you're traveling to Providence.
As visitors from Oxford (UK) we walked round the Brown campus admiring the spaciousness and openness to the public compared to the smaller, older and more private and confined quadrangles we know in our university. Should we say that we saw no mention of Brian Griffin's abortive attendance? In UK Harvard, Yale and MIT are famous but Brown is hardly known; we suggest you find some way to capitalise on Family Guy! (This is a semi-serious suggestion.)
Loved the university! Kids all looked very happy and engaged. Did not get the vibe of "preppy" or "entitled" air.
'Cause we love our college dear; no matter where we go, we are ready for a cheer. The best university on the planet, and beautiful to look at too.
We did a student led tour of Brown University and it was really informative and fun. We had a great guide who told us a lot about the University, and a lot of things that you would not read in a book so it gave you a real insight to being a student here. If you are wanting to have a look at Brown, a student led tour is definitely the way to do it.
Near Bristol, RI we visited this interesting, historical, and remote place. From Web Site,"Today, Brown University owns 376 acres (1.52 km2) of woodland on Mt. Hope off Tower Street in Bristol. The university's grounds on Mount Hope include King Philip's Seat (or "chair"), a large quartz rock formation where Wampanoag sachem King Philip held meetings. The site of King Philip's death in Misery Swamp is nearby. Mount Hope Farm is also nearby."It was a lovely place to walk, reflect, and eat a picnic.
