Having no core requirements for graduation and leaving the registration deadline two weeks into school, we're given a chance to visit and test many courses so that we may create our educations in an informed way. Even so, most Brown students shop minimally: many

Wow those sound like some amazing classes. Good luck shopping and selecting!

What does 100 level mean? (At my old school, intro classes were 1000 or 2000 level and classes in specific fields were 3000 or 4000. That doesn't seem like how Brown works at all.)

I met loads more people who know you today. My friend Ari was saying that where ever he goes, he can mention me and most likely someone knows me and I said I know someone who does that even better than me - Benj! And everyone around me said, Benj? Kamm? From Philly?
Yay small worlds.

It helps that he has a more unusual name than you. Perhaps you should tack a "j" onto the end of your name as well.

Sarahj? Saraj? Sarj? Sraj?
I guess they'd be unique if nothing else.

indeed an awesomely small world. who are these folks? presumably I know them, too...

As for classes: 1-99 are "primarily for undergrads"; 100-199 are "for undergrads and graduate students"; 200-299 are "primarily for grad students" and 300+ are med school. It's not so clear-cut as intro classes and advanced classes.

I lied. The people who knew you were Ari Kaiman who is Emily's fiance who you met at the Hillel thing. Arie Hasit who was at Harvard. Maybe also Rafi Nemes? Also Ari and Elana ??Brochin?? from Wesleyan and Cornell respectively?
