Undergraduate / quantum mechanics - Why does Brown interest me? [14]
Please tell us more about your interest in Brown: Why does Brown appeal to you as a college option? Who or what has influenced your decision to apply? (1000 char)
Last school year, my 3rd period class in the morning always woke me up. AP Physics C with Mr. (asdfgh) was usually the highlight of my day. (asdfgj), whose Alma mater happens to be Brown, is the most riveting teacher I've ever had. It's not unusual that we started our day talking about random things related to physics. We've talked about light speed on Star Trek as well as about quantum mechanics (or how we as students didn't understand a lot of it). But Mr. (asdffg) never advertised Brown; it was the kind of thinker he was that did. He had this crazy way of thinking that was coherent - most of the time anyway. This great intellectual man loved physics and astronomy and it was quite apparent. It led me to believe that Brown was a place where people were allowed to foster their interests and passions. The open curriculum seems to be the obvious answer. At what other institution can you make you own curriculum that would push you in the way that you knew yielded the best results?
This is a draft. I already know its a bit too much of a story. My real problem is that I dont know where to start taking it from a story to the reason why. Any feedback is much appreciated.
