Without a doubt Brown University (One of the Ivy League schools by the way) , is not only one of the best schools in the state but also in the world!.

Only second to Oxford University and Harvard.

They have also launched a MASSIVE medical program (mostly neurology) and last year added a massive business program.

They give their students a gratuitous amount of resources to choose from.

My dad and uncle both went to PC so I have to give them props, but I would pick brown in a heartbeat if i still lived in the states.

Also, Brown Financial assistance program (VIA FASFA) will cover a large portion of tuition fees for the first year if both parents make less than 100,000 a year.

Good Luck !

Kind Regards,
@XDS

The best school for you will have have characteristics that are important to you. I recommend trying the CollegeBoard.com MatchMaker, which takes into account location, financial aid, athletics, majors, setting, and more.
