"I really wish I could have received more financial aid from Brown, but I am more than confident that the advanced degree I am earning will more than pay for itself in a very short amount of time, so I can't complain to much. I think that my program at Brown is very unique and I would not want to be anywhere else. I am very pleased with the value of the education, as well as the quality of the teaching, professor interaction, and the material being covered."

"The BME graduate program is spread out over campus and non-campus buildings making it difficult for collaboration and organization of students, but also allows for collaboration outside o Brown with the area hospitals. The program can be very disorganized at times in terms of requirements and path to graduation and qualifying, but has improved considerably over the last couple years. I have enjoyed my time at brown"
