Navigating Brown and the Area

Brown offers tremendous educational and research opportunities. Its classrooms, labs, library system, technology, and campus facilities provide a secure, academically challenging environment in which students are given the tools they need to succeed. 

Providence and the greater New England area offer a stimulating environment. And for some graduate students, Providence itself becomes their laboratory.

Consult the pages in this section for information about student life, both inside and outside the University.

If you have specific student life concerns or questions, you can also contact the associate dean of the Graduate School and Student Life.
