While Brown often points to the independence of students as a hallmark of the University's educational philosophy, that does not mean we expect you to go it alone! Whether you need information, guidance, or support, remember that asking for help is a sign of strength and maturity.
Where do I Start?
There are many people and offices at Brown to advise and support you as an undergraduate, graduate or medical student. The hardest part may be knowing which of those many resources best matches your need. If you start in one place and it turns out that your best support will come from a different office, we will be happy to direct you and connect you to someone else. Use the Quick Reference listing below as a guide to available resources.
