Open-minded and curious students who do not need rigid structure should attend Brown University. While advisors are readily available to assist students in determining what types of classes are necessary to graduate with a specific degree, students are given the ultimate flexibility in creating their own course schedule, without being given a specific roadmap to graduation. This allows the student the ability to learn new things, with the understanding that they must practice enough self-discipline to map out thie own road to graduation.

Determined, hard working self-starters should consider Brown.

I don't think there is any one type of person that should attend Brown. Before I started school, I considered myself to be a little liberal and a little conservative, and shy about voicing my opinion. However, after the first semester, I noticed a huge self transformation, and now I speak what's on my mind, and I've become educated on so many things from politics to cultural medical techniques. Basically, anyone can fit in or attend Brown and be comfortable, and enjoy the experience.

A person interested in Brown University should have an open mind and an eager desire to learn, not just in the classroom but from the world around them as well. Being at Brown allows one to interact with people from all over the world, and be exposed to their viewpoints and ideas on numerous topics. A strong drive to work hard and do well is also highly recommended, as one is always pushed to do one's best regardless of the classes one takes.
