The writers in this collection come from all walks of life. They are writers, journalists, professors, doctors, lawyers, and businesspeople. They are men and women, young and old, gay and straight, black and white. But they all have one thing in common: they are all graduates of Brown University.

The essays in this collection are as varied as the writers themselves. Some essays are funny, others are sad, and still others are thought-provoking. Some essays focus on the academic experience at Brown, while others focus on the social and extracurricular life. But all of the essays are written with honesty and passion, and they offer a unique glimpse into the life of a Brown student.

If you are interested in learning more about Brown University, or if you are simply interested in reading some great writing, then I highly recommend The Brown Reader.

Here are a few excerpts from the essays in The Brown Reader:

"Brown is a challenging school, but it's also a rewarding one. The professors are top-notch, and the classes are rigorous. But if you're willing to put in the work, you'll be rewarded with a world-class education." — Danielle Brown, Class of 2005

"Brown is more than just a school. It's a community. It's a place where you can find your people and build friendships that will last a lifetime." — Michael Jones, Class of 2015
