The university is not big, but quite charming. It is worth to walk around. The surroundings are great!

My husband and I visited Brown University with our son for the "Accepted Students Weekend" Of course, I do not have to go into what a great school they are academically!

So if you come from a place where parking is generally plentiful and free, this will be an adjustment. I understand the parking enforcers are quite strict as well. Two hours limit on any one time per block. (i.e.. you cannot just move... More

I want to say I m not biased--though my daughter is a student at Brown. After our "tour" days at the colleges all across the US that she hoped to attend, I came home from New England with the firm conviction that not only American travelers, but tourists from all over the world should see any or all of our...

While in the neighborhood, take a walk in the Ivy League school campus. Check out the Haffenreffer Museum of Anthropology inside Manning Hall. Its only one room exhibit but read the captions...its get you thinking. Its free, street parking is an issue.
