So once again, we're with Manit
He's an alumni of Brown University and Harvard University.
And he's co-founder of UPI study.
So, firstly tell me What is Brown Univerisity famous for?
So, Brown University is very popular for its open curriculam.
So, That means no matter which major you were in
At Brown, You can take any courses
If you're from business then you can take a computer science course or
a psychology course.
If you're an undergraduate student
You do not get grades.
They don't want their students to compete
All the competitiveness is already done till coming to Brown University.
Because it's one of the prestigious universitites.
Once you're at Brown
You get pass or fail
Because they want to focus on creating more value based things.
Your career, your startups or everything
UPI study, which is an education board
has been also
funded and gotten grants through Brown University.
We have office here.
Does that means that students have least stress level here?
You can say, Among the all IV league universities
Brown university is known for least stress.
There's so much competition there
Everyone is trying to overtake each other.
But brown university will find a lot of collaboration.
They want you to learn and they want you to grow.
That's the most unique thing about Brown University.
Anyways, Let's start with the tour here
So this is gate of Brown University
This only opens two times in a year
The first time it opens when your first academic session starts
and second, that's when you walk in
when you're in first year.
When you walk out is when you're a graduate
from the university.
Oh
If inbetween for any reason you walk again
So, there's superstition that says If you walk inbetween
you won't graduate on time.
You'll fail or something else and you'll graduate late.
So, Brown university doesn't have public buses.
Brown university has small shuttles
So, these shuttles
It works like uber actually.
Around providence, city or around university.
If you want to go anywhere you just call for a bus.
It'll come or your shuttle will come.
And it'll take you and drop you at the specific place.
Oh, here buses work like uber.
So you give them pickup and drop off location.
And that's how it does.
So, it ensures student security
that student have to go in public buses or in something else.
I mean, it is one of the top universities of US.
So they have the money to spend on personal uber.
It's pretty great.
Here's this watch tower
So they used to be actually a bell on top
which used to ring everytime.
There's a story behind it
One day, actually a few students got drunk
There's a staircase inbetween.
They stole the bell
and the bell was never found again.
How people prevent hypothermia here?
I think you get used to it
If you're an international student specifically
I've been living in US for about 10 years now.
But you get used to hypothermia.
You just need to make sure that you're wearing right clothes.
All the buildings are pretty heated up here.
Anywhere in the US if you go.
So there's nothing to be afraid about it.
Because there's a lot in Chicago.
Some houses have very old heaters.
from which...
There used to be different heaters in old houses.
You'll naturally know that it's old.
So, sometimes it can also emit carbon monoxide.
So, you properly wanna check if you have carbon monoxide detector in your room.
If it's leaking.
Otherwise, if you're in a good university
or in a good dorm or anything.
You have nothing to worry about
So there's nothing to worry about it.
Those are exceptions that may happen.
Now this is main brown university or playground in a way.
This is very filled with over 1000-2000 students all the time in summer.
Now it's winter, -8 degrees here
Still we seeing some people sitting and chilling here.
This is most popular spots for undergrad students to hang around.
So Manit, you also teach students in Brown university.
And also, you're founder of UPI study.
What advice you'll give to students who're coming for study abroad
First advice would be that take UPI or AP courses as much as you can.
And get right guidance from right people.
Don't run behind consutants
who haven't studied abroad themselves.
So, that'll be my one advice that I'l give to you.
I take 5-7 calls a day with students
It's free.
If some student wants to get in touch with me
or any other faculty member.
6 slots in a day.
Fill them fast guys
I was amazed how open he is for students.
I really admire your work.
I usually have 2-3 slots in a day.
I'm sure there'll be a lot after your video.
From this I remember that
What traditions are here related to American pi
Because many people come by seeing american pi
Naked run happens here?
Naked run happens in many universities like Brown or Harvard
at the end of semester.
You'll see that in many universities.
It's a very common culture here.
Also, I heard that here in some colleges there's OY GY also.
Yes, there is.
Brown used to have it at 2013-2014
but it is closed now.
So today we're at Brown
So, what's your name?
My name is Jacob.
So, what do you study here?
What's your major?

And this is our student campus centre here
So, this full building is a campus centre actually.
You'll see advertisements of all clubs of brown.
Brown actually has a lot of oppurtunities which
other universities don't have.
So, we have a club here
That means Brown has allocated some funds.
And students get to pick companies.
And students can invest in them
on behalf of brown university.
So, students can invest in companies and become investors.
which is not allowed in state universities.
Other thing about Brown university which is very good
is that
They have actually all the other Iv leagues as well
which is not in state universities.
A very big alumni network.
So whosoever graduated from last 250 years from Brown university
You can get their contact information
You can email them.
That includes multi millionaires, billionaires and investors.
There are some who have restricted
because of their fame.
Emma Watson graduated from here.
Many rich families from India
Their members graduated from here.
That's an oppurtunity you get studying at IV league university
which you'll not get in state.
which are not here.
So please tell about the cons also.
The cons?
I mean, you'll get a lot of diversity in a state university.
You'll get to be friends with chinese
Like you'll see a lot of diversity and a lot more people.
This becomes very closed network community.
So, you don't get to see many people here
State universities are like, the whole city works because of students.
because it has 1 lakh students.
Here are some thousands of students
So, there's not a lot of crowd of students.

in Canada.
who are graduates.
The network here will help you grow a lot.
In state schools, you'll see
I have done Masters from Brown and Harvard.
But I have done bachelors from state school.
In state schools, if you're a corporate person
They best way to go is there.
Because everyone is going to a corporate life
Because, here for entrepreneurship small colleges help a lot.
And if you want to do job then big cities and state helps a lot.
So guys, since this is a very small college.
The biggest problem that students face is home sickness.
because it's really difficult to find friends in
a city which is just on college basis.
Out of 1000 you have to find group of 5.
very easy
I mean you'll find some people as you have option.
Here at Brown university, there are not more than 200 Indians here.
Now in those 200, everyone know each other in a way.
Home sickness can happen to you in state university also.
It can happen here as well.
In small community schools or universities
biggest benefit is that
you're forced in a way
This is our engineering building of Brown University.

So you did Masters in Entrepreneurship at Brown University
You can take classes from anywhere
So how much it costs for masters in IV leagues with scholarship and without
One year fee would be around $80k.
Now I paid for my whole masters
in $45k-50k
That means 1.5 year for me was free.
So, which scholarship you got?
I mean is it a financial aid or
Because you directly got masters also in entrepreneurship.
Here is centre of entrepreneurship
If anywhere you need to go for conferences
Many students think that being a
international student, They can't do startup here.
And most of the students asked that

I mean majority answer is
Will see after 3 years.
