Campus Life

With six dining halls, there is always a lot to choose from at all hours. Vegan and kosher meals are also available. Overall, the food is pretty good and having variety helps keep students from getting food boredom, but if that does happen, a short walk takes students to several restaurants on Thayer Street.

The food at Brown is sub-par. The Ratty (the main dining hall) usually contains unfortunately overcooked, dry, or awkwardly-seasoned materials. Sadly, the fault lies in the fact that the dining services try to achieve fancy dishes that end up being, frankly, very off. If there was one tip I would give Brown's dining services it would be try for simplicity. People like just plain mashed potatoes, plain steam vegetables, and well-cooked, unadulterated meat options.

Assorted dining halls for different styles of food and eating, can find whatever you want either on campus or off campus

The food is good but it gets repetitive in the dining halls. The key is to use meal credits at other places like Joe's or the Blue Room. But you'll learn more about that when you arrive in September ;).

There are a variety of clubs and sports to join. You could take the metro to Boston or walk to the mall- which is right down the street.
