Like, Stanford was fairly organized, but they also gave us a fairly large degree of freedom. I don't mind having the freedom, I just wish they'd oriented us better. I guess walking all over the campus getting lost is part of the college experience, though. *rolls eyes*
Brown is very pretty -- everything is brown. Or red brick, you know, same thing -- but I don't think I'll be applying here for a number of reasons, not least of which is the experience with this program. For one thing, they're making us pay for our books. We're already paying five thousand dollars to be here, and not all of that can be going towards rooms and food -- I mean, I really shouldn't be comparing this to Stanford, but obviously I am, because I was in a class where we read a lot and I came home with a dozen books and didn't have to pay for any of them, and Stanford cost less than Brown is. It makes me really mad. It's the only college I've been to where printing isn't free, and I'm really surprised at that. And I wish that our RAs would actually tell us these things -- tell us how to use the printers, and such, you know? Because it's confusing unless you get someone to tell you how to do it. Or eavesdrop. *cough*
We have an RA, but her sole duty isn't keeping track of us. She also has classes and work, so she's not quite always available. She seems nice, though.
I'm sort of wishing I'd gone to the program at Washington and Lee instead of this one, because it was the same length and half the price. *sigh*
