'Cause we love our college dear; no matter where we go, we are ready for a cheer. The best university on the planet, and beautiful to look at too.

The front gates are worth the trip, make sure you take a camera...this University has a beautiful campus.

Near Bristol, RI we visited this interesting, historical, and remote place. From Web Site,"Today, Brown University owns 376 acres (1.52 km2) of woodland on Mt. Hope off Tower Street in Bristol. The university's grounds on Mount Hope include King Philip's Seat (or "chair"), a large quartz rock formation where Wampanoag sachem King Philip held meetings. The site of King Philip's death in Misery Swamp is nearby. Mount Hope Farm is also nearby."It was a lovely place to walk, reflect, and eat a picnic.

Beautiful campus. We were in Providence as part of an east coast swing for our anniversary and did a tour of the campus since I had wanted to go there out of high school but couldn't afford it at the time :(Trees everyone, lovely brick facades, and friendly people living the dream. Definitely get out of your car and take it all in. You'll be wishing you went here as well.

We did a student led tour of Brown University and it was really informative and fun. We had a great guide who told us a lot about the University, and a lot of things that you would not read in a book so it gave you a real insight to being a student here. If you are wanting to have a look at Brown, a student led tour is definitely the way to do it.

We took a driving tour of this campus - it is simply beautiful. Old stately buildings and winding streets. A must see if you're traveling to Providence.

Really enjoyed our visit at Brown. The students were so proud of the campus and it's history. The campus is absolutely beautifuk!

I toured Brown with a former student. While some facilities are in need of updating, it's a beautiful, sprawling, urban campus. The surrounding neighborhood is stunning, and there is easy access to downtown Providence.

Brown is located on top of the hill and is very well blended in with the community and the neighboring schools.

Its difficult to tell where the University begins or ends in relation to other parts of the city. This East bank location is a mass of older elegant small New England barge board buildings combined some larger brick institutional establishments. You can get guided tours. Well worth a visit along with a stroll along Benefit St.

We walked the campus on our own, my mom attended school there. We located her dorm form the 1950's, which was part of Pembroke College. They have a memorial to the all-girls school. Very cool. Book store is huge! It put the hook in my daughter, need to start saving. Parking is limited. Be patient.

Loved the university! Kids all looked very happy and engaged. Did not get the vibe of "preppy" or "entitled" air.

We took an afternoon stroll around Brown university. The difference in building styles was amazing showing a wide range of architecture and I know it's a working college, but more signs about the place to tell you what you're looking at would be useful. Typical students hanging around made the place look relaxed and it looked pretty in the late fall sunshine.

As visitors from Oxford (UK) we walked round the Brown campus admiring the spaciousness and openness to the public compared to the smaller, older and more private and confined quadrangles we know in our university. Should we say that we saw no mention of Brian Griffin's abortive attendance? In UK Harvard, Yale and MIT are famous but Brown is hardly known; we suggest you find some way to capitalise on Family Guy! (This is a semi-serious suggestion.)
