<p>Any older students or alums can answer this. I am excited about the ability to completely design my own education at Brown, and I think that I am the type of student to take advantage of it. What classes did you take? What concentration(s) did you leave Brown with?</p>
<p>i was able to take as many studio art classes as i wanted rather than be restricted because of a core or distribution requirements. one semester i took all studios (this may or may not have been the best life decision, lol). i was an art concentrator. </p>
<p>other than art, i took a lot of amciv and anthropology. i also dabbled in philosophy, math, chemistry, biology, history, music, neuroscience, classics, english, gender studies, psychology, art history… (including classes taken at my first school, tulane), </p>
<p>basically at brown, it’s like you get to go ooh! that looks interesting! i’ll take THAT! without any qualms or consequences.</p>
<p>I took a class from the nation’s preeminent scholar on the Blues. Which was freakin fantastic. I never would have taken that… except I did. I had an awesome time and know sooo much now!</p>
<p>The open curriculum allowed me to discover my inner social scientist and pin down my academic interests. Next semester I’ll be taking only quantitative classes. I am working on different parts of my brain and it is FUN!</p>
<p>I am, for all intents and purposes, a triple concentrator in Classics, Mathematics, and Computer Science who will graduate with an additional year of linguistics, 2 years of German, and year of Italian. I was able to go in depth in each of the fields I wanted to (although it would be nice to get 2 years of Japanese in…)</p>
