<p>Is it homecoming weekend and would it be nuts to make a visit on that day for a 11 am tour thing they offer?</p>
<p>I know it’s Corporation weekend (not sure if this coincides with homecoming… homecoming doesn’t mean that much around here in terms of current students…).</p>
<p>Brown’s homepage alludes to the business of this weekend, so if you want to see a very active campus and don’t mind a hard time parking, Saturday may be a great day to be here (though at 11am few students will be up and about).</p>
<p>It is homecoming, but I don’t know that that means anything in terms of tour quality. Go ahead and come :-)</p>
<p>Yes it’s homecoming, and there are also special activities for alumni. (It’s “Alumni Fall Weekend.”) You’ll see lots of older looking folks walking around (including me and my husband), who will be up at 11 a.m. Some of the classrooms will be used for alumni events. Then there’s a football game in the afternoon. I imagine parking will be horrendous.</p>
<p>The Red Bull Soapbox Race, a national event, is at Brown this Saturday.</p>
<p>that’s awesome, and reason enough to show up</p>
