<p>The workload really depends on the classes you end up taking. You'll find that there's quite the variation. </p>
<p>Ultimately, ESPECIALLY if you're going for seven weeks, realize that you signed for an academic summer program. If you want summer camp, those are available, but not at Brown.</p>
<p>it also depends on the quality of your regular school. I know in my class, i was #2, and the girl with the higest grade went to a private school near mine with a similar reputation for academic exellence.</p>
<p>Btw, my friend (the girl who said that summer at Brown was rigorous) was recently named a presidential scholar. She's also the val of our class, and she's a National Merit Finalist.</p>
<p>i never said <em>she</em> was dumb. I was implying that she doesnt have to do work at your school, and that's why summer@brown was so rigorous.</p>
