Brown University

<p>keli, I haven't heard of anyone that's been rejected yet, so I think you should be fine, it seems like if you pay and your grades aren't horrendous you're in?</p>

<p>tweet, do most people just hang around campus and go walking on thayer/mall or do a lot of people do the organized activities there? (like yoga or w/e else is on the brown site events calendar)</p>

<p>I'm there right now.</p>

<p>To answer your question, alian3, it really depends on whether you want to go to planned activities or not. Some people go the entire couple of weeks without attending a single organized event and some people go to most of them. They'll be plenty of time to do both though. Also, depending on what times your class meets, you might miss some of the scheduled activites.</p>

<p>How much money should we bring if we're in a longer session? Can textbooks be bought ahead of time?</p>

<p>Today I got in, but I must've put the wrong class on because there are three "putting ideas into words" I put the 1c session course code, but wrote I wanted 1d session. So I'm enrolled for a session which I can't make..if I call them it should be okay, right?</p>

<p>just wondering.. do they have comforters or do we have to bring that too?</p>

<p>I THINK we have to bring our own. They have trips to bed, bath + beyond though.</p>

<p>wow.. we have to bring just about everything except the furnitures. sucks =/</p>

<p>haha yeah, especially if you live far away like me! what session are you going to?</p>

<p>2B.. you?
im pretty far from brown too. ugh such a drag. i dont even know how everything is going to fit!</p>

<p>3B. I guess we'll be there for...part of the same time? Ha.
Haha I always get my mom to ship me boxes. try that!</p>

<p>shipping's so complicated though.. haha
so 3B starts on the 13th too right? pretty awesome =)</p>

<p>just wondering.. do u think a lot of the people there are super rich and perhaps a bit snobby? im kinda worried about that.. what if they aren't so friendly? =S</p>

<p>btw would it be okay if the sheets and comforter are full size instead of xl twin? im having trouble finding xl twin size.. and i have full at home so can i just bring that?</p>

<p>well there's a facebook group and a bunch of us friended each other. everyone seems REALLY nice. they probably are rich, but snobby? nah</p>

<p>and hmm i dunno about the sheets.</p>

<p>oh, theres a facebook group? can u send me the link please? perhaps i'll join in too! haha</p>

<p>you prob. don't need a comforter...it's sooooooooo hot.
and money. bring lots, if you can. especially if you're a spender. there is so much to do. I can't count how many times i went to the atm. foooood on thayer is ridiculously good.
barely anyone is snobby, although there might have been more than a few super rich people. But I never felt left out/weird/poor. :)</p>

<p>Ahhh guys I'm excited! I'm Session 2B and I start on the 13th. :D </p>

<p>Thank you, people who have posted advice!</p>

<p>Curi0sity, I don't know if I'm allowed to post the link since CC is weird about that, but search "Summer@Brown 2008" on facebook. : ]</p>

<p>can someone tell me if it is okay to change sessions?
I emailed them with no response, and called and left my name and number with like a secretary
They enrolled me in a class for next week, and I can't make that week!</p>

<p>So I'm here right now and I love it!!! There's way less down-time than I expected, haha, 'cause there's always something to do. </p>

<p>And my course is pretty intense, which is good I guess? </p>

<p>I love it here! (:</p>

<p>It sucked. Not academically/intellectually stimulating AT ALL. I took the course on Finance btw. I can confidently say that it was the worst program I've ever taken. All we did was taking notes of what the Russian (I'm not sure) professor from Babson wrote on the chalkboard.</p>

<p>Are you serious? It was the best experience of my life. I learned so much. Obviously, it was just the course you took. Everyone I know learned a TON.</p>
