College guides written by students for students. Brown University Students Tell It Like It Is Wanna take a walk through the Van Winkle Gate? Traditions - The Van Winkle Gate Every student walks through the main gates of the University exactly twice in their undergraduate career. The first week of freshman year, the gates are swung inwards toward University Hall, inviting new University members to enter the Brown campus. Years later, upon graduating, the gates are opened out, ushering the grads back into the world and ceremoniously ending their time at Brown. 
Now that you know what caps the beginning and end of a student's time at Brown, turn to College Prowler to find out more about what happens in between.
Get the lowdown on everything from Academics . . .
"I get to switch it up a little bit. I think the Brown curriculum offers a lot of space to try things out and really figure out what you are interested in. I transferred for the open curriculum. I think when people first start applying to the school, they don't realize or pay attention to how much the curriculum of the school and the educational philosophy can influence your experience at a place. My other school was way too restrictive." 
to Campus Dining . . .
"The meal plan rips you off. The Ratty was disgusting. I was on the full meal plan. I'm definitely going off of it even though I'm living in a dorm without a real kitchen, which should tell you something. I think the V-Dub is a little better. Being off the meal plan without a car might be a little difficult." 
and even Nightlife . . .
"The on-campus parties are worth checking out for underclassmen, but they're ultimately uninspiring and repetitive. House parties are great, as are a few bars and clubs. Check out Nick-a-Nees, the Red Fez, the Underground, when it's open, and the GCB."
