Personal comments
Viva is the best place if you are international student, it is the meeting pont for Brown, Johnson and walles and Bryant students. Karta bar is also a good choice. Both are in Thayer street in the Brown university area. Bomabay club is the best for indian food if you like this kind of menu.

Personal comments
i was living in a townhouse on campus and it's like liiving in your own house, you can cook and have your place clean and tidy. But if you have to live in a dorm it is a little more uncomfortable. From my experience, the housing was really good but i guess if i were living in a dorm i wouldn't have the same opinion

it was hard at the beginning bc you feel fustraction when you are not able to communicate so good as you used to do ti in your own language but i didn't have any problem to talk and communicate to people. People in general try to understand you and are patient with you.
