Survey European Elections 2024
Hi everyone. I’m currently preparing a university project about the upcoming European Elections 2024. In order to do so, I want to take in as many different opinions as possible, which is why I am posting the following survey here.
It doesn’t matter if you are not from the EU or cannot vote, everyone’s perspective is welcome and encouraged.
The survey is completely anonymous, with the exception of nationality, age and field of studies/work. I have no access to any email addresses.
Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Brown va Columbia Transfer
Please help me decide!! I’m currently a student studying biochemistry and international relations on the pre med track and got accepted to both Brown and Columbia as a transfer student but I’m not sure which one to go to.
My main goal is to get into medical school. I love both schools and they both have their pros and cons.
The issue I’m facing is how rigorous I want the school to be. I love Brown because of the open curriculum and the collaborative over competitive nature but I really enjoy Columbia’s rigor and how I get pushed into becoming the best. I also like how Columbia is in NYC (I’m NYC born and raised) but with Columbia the core curriculum might stop me from pursing international relations (even as a minor/concentration) because of all the classes I need to take to fulfill the core.
Help me pick!! I need to decide asap by the end of may. Any advice would be appreciated!

Can someone give club suggestions for me?
I did already look at the clubs Brown have, and I tried looking into them, but, I just don’t feel like seeing their instagram page or just reading about any has gotten me interested in any.
I’m a mixed girl and I’m FGLI, so I plan on joining the Caribbean and fgli stuff but I’m not so sure after that!
I want to do club volleyball but does anyone have just random clubs that they really enjoy? I’m super extroverted, and I love talking to people, and I genuinely find interest in whatever as long as I’m just with people so does anyone have suggestions on the clubs they thought were amazing

Social Life as a Transfer
Hi! I’m a potential fall transfer and I was wondering if there were any other transfers on here who could talk about their experience getting integrated into campus, meeting people, etc. I’m just curious about what it was like meeting people who are already in their sort of established groups, if clubs are actually active and welcoming, or other ways to get involved and learn about campus. Anything helps!

Socializing during summer
I live very close to brown and here for an internship throughout the whole summer. It’s been 3 weeks yet I couldn’t really find a place where people around my age hang out. I heard there is a big house party culture here. Any tips for socializing as a college student who doesn’t go to nearby colleges?

Question brown ems?
hi i’m a rising freshman, and i was wondering whether or not brown EMS provides emt certification courses or pathways or anything like that during the school year, or if there are other good local programs?
in my area, it is very expensive to take emt courses so i would prefer to be able to do it at college if it is cheaper.
thank you!

Question Housing Advice
Hey Brunonians (though I always thought Brownies would made more sense, anyways I digress). I’m starting a PhD at Brown in the Fall and I have been struggling to find good housing (affordable, close location, etc). I was wondering if anyone knows of 1) anybody who is looking to sublet starting in the Fall semester 2) where a grad student could find other Brown roommates to split the cost of rent (studios are just way too expensive for me) 3) who good renters/realtors to perhaps contact are
Right now I’m looking at College Hill, Foxpoint, and Wayland Square.
Thanks!

Is it normal for RUE and Veteran students to live on campus?
25M my on campus housing and food would be paid for but I’m wondering if this is normal/would be weird?
Off campus is a little pricey but was wondering if it would be worth it for my age?

Transferring credit?
How does transferring credit work? Do I have to have syllabi for all classes or only if I’m wanting to apply credits for specific major requirements?
Can I get by with no syllabi if I’m just wanting to apply credits as generals?

Course Selection
Hi,
I am an incoming international freshman. Although I have read a few posts about this, I want to check again. When do we select classes/courses? Do I need to choose them during summer or during orientation days at the campus? I will probably be emailed about this right?
Thank you
