In which state is Brown University located?

I'm thinking about applying to Brown University, but I need a little help figuring out where exactly it is. Could anyone tell me which state Brown University is located in? Knowing this will help me understand more about the campus life and potentially plan a visit. Any additional tips for Brown applicants would be awesome too! Thanks!

Brown University is located in the state of Rhode Island, specifically in the city of Providence. As an Ivy League, it has a rich historical background and offers a vibrant campus life. The city of Providence offers a blend of urban life with the charm of New England, providing plenty of amenities and cultural experiences.

As for application tips, you'll want to highlight your intellectual curiosity and engagement in your application, as Brown values students who are excited to shape their academic experience via their Open Curriculum. This means showing not just what you've achieved in your current studies, but also how you've pursued meaningful learning outside of the ordinary school curriculum.

Remember that Brown, like many other selective colleges, appreciates students who have made significant contributions in one or two areas (the so-called "spike") rather than a smattering of many activities. So focus on demonstrating depth in your commitment and leadership in these areas rather than breadth.

Lastly, take your time with Brown-specific essays. It's not just about why you want to attend Brown, but also how you plan to take advantage of the unique aspects they offer, such as their Open Curriculum, to further your academic and career goals.

Best of luck with your application!
