Brown University Rankings by Salary Score™

The people that go to Brown are smart, achievers, and accomplished. This include students and faculty. But, when you read my review, what is missing? Well, as a graduate student, they treat you like garbage. Honestly. This is what I experienced. Screaming and yelling from other students in the worst way. Students are unprofessional. They laugh at other students. Professors look the other way. I mean like what the hell? They complain you need to be the best to work for them. They need their tenure or reputation.... Read More You can't park on campus without getting a ticket. Even if there are parking spots open, like Spring Break. I was told it is the job of graduate students to learn on their own, and it is not the job of the faculty to teach. However; if you are Master student, you pay a lot of tuition money. The dean did not care. Wow! Good luck dealing with other issues like religious observance. They do not care for that. Only they missing parts of their syllabus, so they could go get tenure. I was told you should be 'hired' to be a graduate student. Well, Brown really believes their faculty and students should be the best. It is hard to do so, when you're competing with bigger labs and more established departments around the country. They are still excellent academically, but it is hard to compete in apples to oranges. Shucks though, you have to show that for tenure, to become dean, and to even become a future president of college/university. Well, in such a great place, I experienced faculty bad mouth each other saying they are not the best. Can you imagine what they did to students then. Ouch.... The loving people at Brown. Don't be mad though. Speaking to myself. Hey, 'we are liberal'. So, it is all awesome. I would tell you to evaluate Brown for graduate school versus other places. If you can, please find a school that values being kind to each other. It will save you a lot of headache. There are so many good graduate schools out there. Again, if you keep your religion, please please please, be careful. If you value your health, please please please, be careful. No one is there to help! If you want an ivy league, this place is great. Know the benefits of being in such a prestigious place, and the downfalls, which can be cruel. This is what I experienced. Why then one star? Where is the love? Higher levels of education should at least give you some love?

Excellent program that offers flexibility to pursue a curriculum that best aligns with your interest and career goals. I was able to take coursework that spanned multiple departments from engineering, neuroscience, and business/entrepreneurship.
