点评:Of the 9 colleges founded in the former colonies of the US before the Revolution, Brown is the only college in Rhode Island and the only representing the Baptist denomination. Today it and six of the other 8 form the Ivy League of elite colleges in the US.
We visited the University on our 2 mile colonial trail in Providence to see it gates, buildings and quadrangles; however, what we really enjoyed were seeing some of its extras like the Carrie Tower and Brown Bear statue. I will say that I liked the campus feel more than Harvard in my brief walk around both campuses.
Be sure to see University Hall which was built in 1770. If it looks familiar it was designed by Joseph Brown who also did the Market House on the Providence River and shows similarities. Also see the Van Wickle Gates directly in front of University Hall that open only a couple of ceremonial times a year for students to pass through.

我们沿着普罗维登斯 2 英里的殖民小径参观了这所大学,参观了它的大门、建筑和四合院;然而,我们真正喜欢的是它的一些额外设施,如卡丽塔和棕熊雕像。我要说的是,在我短暂地游览两个校园时,我更喜欢这里的校园氛围,而不是哈佛。
一定要看看建于 1770 年的大学礼堂。如果它看起来很熟悉,它是由约瑟夫·布朗设计的,他还设计了普罗维登斯河上的市场大楼,两者有相似之处。还可以看到大学礼堂正前方的范威克尔大门,每年只开放几次供学生通过。
