Brown University Reviews of Master's in Biomedical Engineering

"It's a great network of students and faculty. A very collaborative environment, not cut throat like the other Ivy's. Depending on personal work ethic it can be overwhelming."

"I absolutely love the biomedical Engineering Master's program at Brown. The faculty is extremely supportive and are always accessible when you need to talk with them. The professors care about the student's educational and self growth, which is really important. The program really focus's on research and for me specifically, it has been the most rewarding. I worked in industry for a few years and was nervous of the thought of going back to school after so long and forgetting what I learned as an undergrad. But the professors, graduate students, and staff all work together to make sure you feel comfortable and provide extra help if you need it. Only con is that I wish they provided more courses - as the program has limited courses for graduate students."

"As a minority, I love how diverse the campus is. It is quite different from my alma mater. Faculty and Staff are extremely friendly and supporting. They reach out in multiple ways and always find a way to make students feel at ease. The workload is hectic sometimes yet manageable. I love how professors at Brown, unlike other institutions, understand we have other coursework and life responsibilities. They become easy going with their class requirements because of this. I have recommended several of my friends to pursue a graduate education at Brown based off of my positive experiances!! The only con is the lack of financial aid for Masters students. Hopefully that will improve."

"I really appreciate the faculty and their willingness to help students achieve their goals and reach a higher understanding of a subject or topic of interest. I am disappointed that there was no half time masters degree program available."

"One large con is that no Master's students are eligible for financial aid, which leaves many students extremely financially strained."
