<p>so i just joined and this is the first time I've posted anything so i could be doing this all wrong..... but anyways,</p>

<p>I'm 15 and I'm going to apply to the summer@brown program, and i was wondering if y'all think i might be to young. i know the only prerequisite is that you have to graduate 9th grade, which i will by the summer, but i haven't come across any reviews of it from anybody my age. If anybody has gone to summer@brown that just finished their freshman year did you feel too young? Or even if you've been to summer@brown and you were older, did it seem like a major party thing? my friend went one summer and said there was lots of drinking and partying but I'm not sure if i believe him...</p>

<p>ps. if i did this wrong could you tell me how to do it right please?</p>

<p>thanks!</p>

I am a parent but my daughter did a summer at Brown 4 years ago when she was 14 (turning 15 that Sept.) She did not mention any major partying issues - but she was pretty straight. If you are comfortable going away and being smart in a small city (i.e. don’t wander around alone at night) I think you would be fine. I was a little nervous at first but it all turned out great and the next summer she went to Harvard and I wasn’t worried at all. (PS - she met a lot of interesting people from around the world and they had a number of activities/socials for the students)</p>
