Honestly the on campus housing and Brown dining could be much better (and much more affordable) but other than that it's and amazing school if you have motivation and use the resources available. A lot of people don't use the academic resources available but they are amazing.

  7. What's the most frustrating thing about your school?

    I am a fully online student. The most frustrating thing for me is when a professor puts limits on when assignment are open. I understand that deadlines are needed and work should be done by a certain date; but I think assignments should ALL be open ALL semester so if needed we can work ahead. The main reason for doing online courses is for the convenience. If I have a busy week coming up I want to be able to get my work done ahead of time.
