It looks like a very small and intimate program. Why don’t you just contact the admissions office and ask? That action will not change the fate of your application. It shows real interest and is a reasonable question. Good luck!

I’ll go first. This semester I’m taking cs0300 fundamentals of computer systems with Professor Malte. Its fantastic. We are making a memory debugger for project 2 and its the coolest shit— you get to learn how these types of devtools like valgrind or sanitizer work under the hood. Also the lectures are super well thought out and built around simple live coding demos where we go line by line. This one time the prof embedded a program into an image. So in the terminal he just ran the image as if it was a program a whole bunch of confetti emojis randomly started flying around. It was crazy. Plus collaboration is allowed which is always nice👍

Hey - I'm the Co-President of Brown Esports (likely the gaming team you're referring to), and we have the exact same problems as you do. The internet is really fast, but the latency is mediocre to straight out bad, even when the game reports acceptable latency. We're opening up a gaming lounge sometime next week - the PCs will still be on WiFi, but OIT has put a lot of work into making sure it's as stable as possible, and for the most part, tests so far seem to be looking okay. More info on this soon! PS: Join us on Discord to learn about our upcoming events (and the gaming lounge launch)! https://discord.gg/brownesports

I was actually asking a serious question. If you knew anything about the system you would know that Yes, as a requirement for maintaining a charter the organization has to do community service. I was just trying to find out how active they actually were because I’m concerned about my boyfriend “rushing” these organizations. If you do t have anything useful to add you can just scroll by. Being obnoxious is not helpful (except to show everyone what a douche you are.)

I’m sure grad school is very different, but I found the undergrad population to be excessively closed minded despite the reputation. I was not the typical mold (primarily due to being Southern and economically conservative, both of which led to holier-than-thou reactions consistently from other students). I’m a fairly laid back guy, and the undergrads were just highly combative and judgmental. I was really struggling with mental health at the time, so I’ll own whatever my part in the equation is, but I won’t take full responsibility. I suppose the best data point is that I haven’t spoken to anybody from Brown in twelve years now. Again though, grad school is VERY different than undergrad. I don’t think my experience should color your perspective at all. Just how it was for me.

People often recommend that (or Eduroam) to each other… I haven’t done any actual testing (so I could be wrong!), but I’d be willing to bet that it’s just coincidence/placebo effect/resetting their connection, rather than any intrinsic difference. All three networks are being served using the same access points, as well.

Damn that’s pretty great speed and relatively good ping. Do you think you’re right in the middle of two routers or something to cause the switching? Regardless, you might consider sending an email to IT about the problem and saying that it impacts your scholarly work.

I always get over 100mb/s download, without fail. 16 ms ping and up to 300mbps upload. Honestly I would rather have 15 mbps if it was stable in game like a normal WiFi connection. What I have now feels like I’m switching networks every few seconds which causes huge spikes, constant rubberbanding and teleporting. I’m on a mac so upgrading the card isn’t really an option

What are the upload and ping values? Also do you consistently get 300mb/s over a few trials? I lived in Keeney freshman year (senior now) and I feel like I remember seeing download speeds of 15-20 mb/s via ookla speed test. That being said, I played a lot of titanfall that year and the WiFi was nearly always fine for multiplayer. As for a solution, if you’re gaming on a pc, you could try upgrading your PCIe WiFi card to one that will get better reception.

Yes it does. We are back on a regular semester system, though, so the fall Chem0100 -> spring Chem0330 sequence does NOT automatically enable summer Chem0350; instead that would be an extra course taken through the summer session office - which is actually a great format for it—I teach at least one section of the the Chem0350 course in the spring and the whole thing in the summer, so I make sure that both groups start fall Chem0360 with the same preparation.

Or do we have the option to do it to be placed out of these introductory classes? 2. I believe I’m going to have to take at least one calc, stats or math course. I’m most likely going to take calc, so if placement exams are required, will I have to take one for calc? Thanksssssssssss

Congrats! The placement exams are only to get out of the very first class in chemistry (chem100) and biology(biol0200). If you have IB credit in either of these you don’t have to take the placement exam and you are allowed to simply skip these courses and jump into the next ones. For chemistry that’ll be chem0330 which you’ll need for bio and in bio you have your choice of a ton of intro classes (physio, micro, genetics, etc.). I will say though, unless you’ve taken the IB or feel super strong in chem, chem0100 might be worth taking. As for bio, biol0200 is a great course here but you honestly don’t need it to understand any of the other bio courses. These exams are online on your own time and can be taken anytime before registration period is over. Essentially once you pass the exam it lets you register for the course so there really isn’t a huge rush.

You should shop both chemistry classes. I was in a similar boat and felt like 100 was important to take first. I think it sets people up particularly well for success in the Chem sequence. You take bio chem after the organic chemistry sequence. Placing out of biol 0200 is great there are a number of intro courses you can take your first semester instead. The course load seems manageable! It’s good to consider other options as well though to remain flexible during shopping period

Oh geez, so many options, although it’s been some time for me. I was a grad student that napped there as well. How long are you looking to nap for? Simplest option is the basement of the Rock (library), those comfy seats that have the big window in front of them overlooking College Hill (sorta). Sci-Li basement, as others have said. If you want and you don’t find it sacrilegious,s second floor (chapel) pews of Manning Hall are pretty nice and the setting is peaceful(?). Also, I never came across anyone up there (a good reading place too for complete quiet). In non winter, bring a towel, or something to put on the ground and sleep on the quiet green (as no one is ever over there) under some trees, or by the bell tower, etc. A lot of classrooms in the original (old buildings) off the main quads (especially the last one that has Marcus Aurelius in it) go basically unused after early afternoon and you can find some carpeted grounds to sleep on and close the blinds; exploring which ones will take some effort on your end, but may be worth the time. Look around your department building, sometimes there are some gems—unused corners/rooms you can utilize at the right time. I had a committee member that had, basically, three offices. One he never used, and I took some naps in it a couple time 😁. Good luck.

I'm a current Brown/RISD Dual Degree student and I was homeschooled. I got rejected from a lot of other colleges because I was a homeschooler, and I also had taken medical leave, so I only had a single ACT test score to add to my application. But I got in, primarily on the strength of my professional resumé from having worked in my chosen field since I was 14. While this obviously wasn't a problem for Brown and RISD, I think if I hadn't had such a specific and highly accomplished work background, I would have been rejected because of my lack of formal schooling and lack of testing.

Sophomores are the most dicked over in the housing lottery bc freshman get no choice, seniors get priority in the lottery, then juniors, then sophomores. There are just so few singles that the seniors gobble them up

Is it easier to get a single as a sophomore than as a junior?

98% chance you do not succeed in getting a true single as a junior. You’re best shot if you want a single is to join a housing group go for a suite in grad center. There, the “suite” is just a shared hallway with everyone’s single rooms and a bathroom

Ok thanks. For #3, I am fine with living anywhere. I'd rather have a single in the "worst" dorm than a double in the "best" dorm.

I used a realtor. As for how far things are, everything is close relative to out west. People out here think a long drive is 30 minutes. My work commute is 10-15 minutes and it gets to maybe 30 if there’s an accident. Really, it’s not bad at all.

1. You should be able to apply to both. 2. I don't think so, afaik it's just that you'll be assigned to a floor with that special interest community (so you could be in a double). 3. Depends on where you'd be fine living. [brownbeardens.com](https://brownbeardens.com) has a good list of the different housing options.

That’s a good point. Worth looking into. The only issue is how far they would be from campus? Did you use a realtor or agency?

Buy a place. Seriously, don’t mess around with renting. I bought a one bedroom condo for $110k. My monthly mortgage and taxes are about $550 (not including hoa, heat, and electricity). You can find condos for $100-$150k that are all good. And as someone with a PhD, stability and having your own place to call home is crucial with all the stress you’re about to go through. The nice places that are $1200+ can be tempting, but ultimately, having a nicer interior isn’t worth an extra $500-$1000 a month. And when your PhD is over, you can sell it for a profit or at least break even, which means you had free housing. And if you’re a first time buyer, there are tons of programs to help with down payment assistance and help you get a low interest rate. The only advantage to renting is you don’t have to deal with things that break, but then you have to deal with bad management and landlords.

Masters in a natural science. I think the application deadline was in late January or mid February. It was a few years ago.

Ooohhh!! I applied to the Trinity/Brown Rep. Acting program; I'm still shivering with excitement, the audition went well and my app was spotless with shiny LoRs, but waiting for results is torture:')

Playwriting! However, I really do not feel like I’ll be accepted. It would be cool though!

I think I received my acceptance in late February to late March, but my program's latest application date was after the typical December date.

I have a realtor so I prob pay more than the market price, but the real estate group I use is Providence Living.
