<p>Unfortunately we cannot get to Providence the night of 4/15 so my son could do an overnight with the admitted students. We could stay the following night (4/16), but Brown does not schedule overnights in the spring. Any ideas on how to connect with a willing student for that night? My son believes the overnights are a great way to get a feel for the school.</p>
<p>By the way, my son has a preference for going on regular student days instead of the special admitted student days. I know much has been written about this, but does anyone have any opinions for Brown? I thought in this case we could attend one day of the admitted student activities and then he could still spend a day on campus, although not a class day. However we could just as easily come up at another time altogether.</p>
<p>I’m sure the Admissions Office is used to such requests, particularly because admitted students visiting days conflict with each other every year. I would call them and see whether they can help you work out an alternative. If not, I know plenty of people happy to host a prospective studenthave him join the Brown University 2014 Facebook group and see whether he can talk to anyone there.</p>
<p>The Admissions Office is closed today, but does say that they are not scheduling any more overnights this year. So he may need to find a friendly student willing to act as host. I’ll ask him to try the facebook page. Any other ideas still appreciated.</p>
<p>If you’re already going to be staying there, it might be possible to schedule a day visit, where your son will go around with a student during the day. I think it usually consists of going to a class and eating lunch with the student. </p>
<p>Not exactly an overnight, but if you just want to see normal life, it might be helpful?</p>
