<p>I'm a girl and a freshman and I live in MD. Georgetown would be closer to me.
For Georgetown, how is the Institutes program? Aside from the actual course, what is the actual life on campus like?
For Brown, I want to do the 2 week Pre-College program. How are the courses? How is the residential/recreational life?</p>
<p>bump! somebody please answer…</p>
<p>bump again for the second time…</p>
<p>I can’t say anything about Georgetown, but I did Summer@Brown last year and I loved it :)</p>
<p>The people there were really cool, and my class was awesome. I took “Freedom & Responsibility”, a philosophy class, and my class was wholly discussion based, so no one was ever bored. Residential Life is nice, as there’s plenty of courtyards and the like to chill out, play music, frisbee, soccer, etc. When we weren’t on Thayer St. (the main street about a block away from campus), we were pretty much always on one of the greens.</p>
<p>As for other courses, I know people who took global business classes and a few different science ones, and they all loved them. One of the biology classes looked like it had a decent amount of work though.</p>
