If a student is accepted to RISD and Brown (dual degree), how is financial aid handled? Brown has a much better package. What happens with the RISD fees? Also, do you live in the Brown residential halls or RISD?
Your second question, about housing – this is as of a few years ago so it is possible things are now different. First year, students live in RISD dorms, take all RISD classes. Second year, students live in Brown dorms and take Brown classes. Students have a choice as to whether they want to live as freshmen (in a freshmen unit with other freshmen) or as sophomores. Remaining years are up to the student.
I know I’ve seen information about financial aid, but I don’t remember.
