Brown

[ShewantsthePhD101]

Anybody else here applying to Brown? I'd love to meet other hopefuls! I'm applying to the RCT program. What about you?

I'm in the history dept, but feel free to hit me up with general questions.

[ShewantsthePhD101]

Awesome!

 

Do you have any idea how many religion students they usually accept a year? What's providence like?

[dr. t]

I have no idea about religious studies - they seem pretty small, and I'd guess no more than 10.

I love Providence! It's a weird little city, and often feels like a big town; running into your students at the movie theater never gets less strange. The food scene is absolutely off the charts, particularly given the relatively small population. Coming from Boston, housing is pretty cheap, say $500-800/BR.

I'm applying to Brown for the Assyriology and Egyptology program.

Can you get good beef in Providence? For some reason I'm terrified it'll be nothing but fish lol.

You can get good everything in Providence. Except ramen - I've only found OK ramen. If you cook yourself there are some absolutely excellent butchers around, too.

...Is Ramen actually a thing people pay for? I mean, aside from buying at the grocery store and making it yourself? There is such a thing as "good" ramen? I'm so confused lol.

Oh poor summer child. You need to find a place that specializes in Ramen.

In a word, yes. 

If you find yourself at Harvard, visit Santouka. You'll see.

Anybody know when the Religious Studies department is set to announce?
