<p>Hello, So heres my situation, I live in philadelphia and I applied to brown under ED and i was deferred. I am in the process of sending extra things like the Mid-year report, more rec’s, and a personalized letter. Now, since brown is about 4 hrs away from here, i thought maybe i could do an overnighter in early feb. when they start again. Should i go? and if any one has been on one there what does it entail. i would take a train and would someone meet me there? thanks alot opinions are helpful!</p>
<p>have you seen this site?

<p>if you check back in a few weeks you should be able to use it to plan your stay (find a host, figure out what classes you want to attend, etc.)</p>
<p>the easiest way to get there from philly is probably amtrak. the campus is an easy walk from the station but if you have a lot of bags you can also just get a cab for fairly cheap</p>
<p>it's definitely worth it, especially if you are considering a couple other schools closely and are trying to make up your mind.</p>
<p>if you set up your visit through the site, you may be able to get a host to come meet you and generally show you around (in addition to giving you a place to stay). in general though, you should expect to be fairly independent and thoroughly take charge of what you want to see and do while you are there.</p>
<p>thanks dcircle, i did see that site n was kinda bummed they werent available during this month but i can understand the how now isnt a desirable time..but everytime i think about doing this i get very excited about being independant there and stuff...it'll be cool..im happy the campus isnt far away from the train station or then i can catch a cheap cab too</p>
<p>i think the reason why they aren't available this month is because the students at the college are on break...there wouldn't be that much to see =)</p>
