Summer@Brown

<p>I’m a rising junior from Mississippi, and I am thinking about applying to <a href=“mailto:Summer@Brown”>Summer@Brown</a>. What is a typical day like? How are the classes? Is three weeks too long or too short? Any input, positive or negative, will be appreciated.</p>

<p>hi, im thinking about doing that too.. what classes are you thinking of applying to? i have heard it is really fun from people who have done it (there is another post that i started about it somewhere on the board)</p>

<p>Brown is a really great place during the summer and there is so much happening in Providence (free concerts, waterfire, etc.) A typical day would probably vary depending on which course(s) you decide to take.</p>

<p>I'm thinking of doing the Western Classical Lit. or the Shakespeare class. Is there an application deadline on the website? I couldn't find it.</p>

<p>what session is that? no, there is no application deadline on the website (its rolling), but they advise to do it soon.</p>

<p>The session is July 17-August 6. I guess I need to get my application in soon.</p>

<p>I took a forensic science class last summer. Here was my typical schedule</p>

<p>8:00AM-9:00AM-wake up, morning routine, go eat breakfast at VW Dining hall walk to Life Sciences Building</p>

<p>9:00AM-12:00PM-Class</p>

<p>12:00PM-12:45PM-Eat lunch, usually at VW with other friends getting out from class.</p>

<p>1:00PM-??-Take a nap (you will see later why this became a regular and integral part of my schedule)</p>

<p>??-~5:00PM-do any HW if assigned (I rarely ever had hw, and if I did, it was less than an hour of work)</p>

<p>5:00PM-5:30PM walk over to friends' dorms, discuss dinner and nighttime plans</p>

<p>5:30PM-6:00PM-eat light crappy dinner at VW.</p>

<p>6:00PM-~2:30AM-chill out, go to any parties, maybe go to mall to see movie, I went to several college kids' parties at Brown and RISD, which were def the best nights. Usually ate a slice of pizza from Antonio's before going to sleep. I tried to check-in every night at 2:30 due to my 9AM class. My roommate had a 1pm class and often came home at 4:30am or later.</p>

<p>~2:45am-3:15am-Arrive back at room, shower, get ready for bed, drink lots of water and aspirin if i'd been drinking.</p>

<p>It's very fun. Best summer ever.</p>

<p>So there is no curfew? Awesome.</p>

<p>Hehe, you're a little confused, i_wanna. The LiSci (Life Sciences) building is currently under construction, and was not in existance last summer. I think you mean Biomed.</p>

<p>While, I'm bored.</p>

<p>I finally got my decision today. I'm going to the July 17th session. Anyone else going?</p>

<p>aaahhh my session is late june - july 17th! is no one going then? (I'm in Faulkner and the Modern Mind.....lit+psych/phil.=WONDERFUL summer)</p>

<p>My son will be attending the session beginning July 17. What's everyone here going to be taking?</p>

<p>SOMETHING TRAGIC HAS HAPPENED. I just found out that the Summer@Brown course I applied to--Faulkner and the Modern Mind--is being CANCELLED, along with my second choice, Social and Political Philosophy. I am still very interested in going, but the application deadline is Sunday and I don't know what to do! Help!</p>

<p>I would call someone there, explain to them the situation, have a list of courses you would like to do in mind to see if there is space for you in them.</p>

<p>I'm taking the classical lit. course.</p>

<p>I'm going for a music technology course. It's a three week vacation from lifegaurding if it totally sucks, which it won't.</p>

<p>which weeks are you going?</p>

<p>I want to say July 17th to August 6th.</p>

<p>good news; I emailed the people at Brown and FINALLY got everything sorted out. I'm taking Philosophy East and West from June 26-July 16. Is annnnyone going then? (It seems like everyone is going July 17 - August 6, but I have intense cross country then...)</p>

<p>I heard that Summer@Brown was really rigorous. My friend went there, and she told me that she had never done so much work in her life before.</p>
