Brown Stadium

The Brown Stadium also hosted the 1976 and 1985 NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championship. Brown University is a member of the distinguished Ivy League. It is not only known for having its own world-class football stadium. The private university, which was originally founded as the College of Rhode Island in the year 1764 in a town called Warren, was the first college to open its doors to students of varying religions and affiliations. At that time, Harvard and Yale only accepted Congregationalists, Princeton only welcomed Presbyterians and Penn and Columbia only took in Episcopalians.

During the 1770s, the school moved to its current location in College Hill, and in 1804, the College of Rhode Island was renamed Brown University after Nicholas Brown. In 1971, the all women’s college of Pembroke merged with Brown University, which is famed for being the third oldest institution and seventh oldest institution of higher education in New England and in the United States respectively. The school’s 143 acres is now home to 238 buildings. At present, there are around sdfix thousand undergraduate students, over one thousand graduate students and over three hundred medical students enrolled in Brown. Those who enroll in Brown University come from not just the fifty American states, but also from various other countries. All of the three schools (Undergraduate, Graduate and Medical) offer a hundred programs of study to cover all possible areas of interest the students may have. In line with every school’s thrust towards producing well-rounded and multi-faceted graduates, Brown University has established more than three hundred organizations that its students may participate in. There are also over thirty-seven varsity teams to cover all types of athletics.

The present faculty of more than six hundred members is the largest in the university’s history. The ratio between students and teachers is an astounding 9 is to 1. Still, the college is hiring a hundred more faculty members. This is because of the school’s Plan for Academic Enrichment program, which will pave the way for higher benchmarks of excellence in the fields of research, education and public leadership.
