Summer@Brown: Social Life, What to Expect

Pre-Med & Medical School High School Student Topics

Hi everyone!
This is my first post here.
I was accepted to Summer@Browns starter macroeconomics course. I have a few questions:

  1. Has anyone taken the course? if so, what did you think? I have no experience in the topic but I love learning new things. I’m slightly worried about not being able to keep up.

  2. Was it awkward meeting new people? what kinds of people were there?
    I’m pretty introverted and have social anxiety, but I want to make some friends. I have no idea what kind of people will be there, but I hope it’s not the rich slacker type :confused:

Thanks in advance!

I did not take the macroeconomics course, but I’m sure I can assist you with the social aspect. It is not difficult in any way to meet new people because VERY FEW people know someone there. That being said, everyone is trying to meet people so you’ll be fine. You’ll probably end up spending the week hanging out with the people from your dorm, but that is completely fine because I made very good friends with my dorm mates in only one week. There is no reason to feel nervous because summer@brown is an absolute blast.
