hows pre college at this university!?

[nomi]

I applied to Brown University for pre college programs, i would like to know if any of you have attended and could tell me the quality of their programs.

Could you recommend any other academic programs for freshmen.

Thank you

Odds are you won't get any useful information here, as most of the forum users are young and illiterate.

I suggest trying to find some sort of board for former students of the precollege. Maybe in some sort of community for people who go to Brown.

True (I would estimate the popular age group to being around 15), also there is the fact of this being a UK based site and that being a question about schooling in the U.S.

Man, I love how you just speak the truth.

Pre college programs?

I'm currently in the pre-college stages, aka, just got accepted to some schools. I don't know what pre-college is but it sounds fishy. If you know what Brown is you know what it is. It's an Ivy League school where everyone's smart and rich. You won't get a very deep experience with your professors. Whatever you decide, with Brown you're sure to pay a hefty dollar.

So many people have this opinion of 'expensive' schools, and let me tell you, it's bull$#@!. I've spent time at both a state school, and community college, and both of them pale in compairison to the level of teaching and education that I've received here at Carnegie Mellon (considered Ivy Tech/New Ivy)

Well I have a lot of family in Academia and I know that most college professors in big name schools are not there to teach, but to get grants for research. Point is, you may have smarter teachers, but their aptitude for teaching may be low. Fact, smaller school equals smaller classes equals better teacher student relationship.

Bah, after writing a few one page long answers (and subsequently deleting them) I decided to just say: people that think those kinds of things obviously don't know what it's like at an ivy league school.

As to your fact: teacher student relationship has very little meaning without a great teacher, and students who are motivated enough to take advantage of it.
