Welcome Brown Class of 2030 🐻

Join the largest verified discord community for incoming students. Meet your future classmates, find friends, and stay updated!

Dozens of students already joined! You're next, pls?

Discord vs. Instagram

Why we moved away from instagram DM groups. (and why you should not join more of them)

Instagram Groupchats

  • 250 member limit forces multiple groups that you're bound to miss
  • Chaotic single stream of messages, can never catch up I swear!
  • Random internet strangers can join, Brown's ED groupchat has Stanford students (where real Brunonians are)
  • No voice or screen-sharing casually. Instead, you'll get annoying calls from random people (I had to mute it)

The Brown Community Discord

  • Unlimited members in one unified space
  • Organized channels by topic and importance (you can suggest more too!)
  • Bruno-verified authentic students only for student-only channels, and you can check their email verification role
  • Drop-in voice channel

Server Features

People that are at the same step you are, where you're going. (and people who've already been there to talk to)

Verified Only

Our custom bot verifies every member against Brown's systems. No trolls, no randoms. Mods are always there to fix errors and ensure that Brunonians are real.

Organized Channels

Dedicated chats for organized chatting (trust me you need it, you know if you've been in the IG groupchats.).

Role Customization

Grab roles for your application process, location and more. More personal roles coming after Ivy Day.

Events & Voice Chats

Soon, and certainly before your Freshman Fall, we'll have fun events in server.

New admit without a Brown email yet?

We know it takes time to get your official @brown.edu email address after Ivy Day. We've built a temporary provisional verification flow just for you!

1Join the Server & Run the Command

First, join the Discord server. Then, go to any channel and type the slash command:

/ivy-verify

Attach a screenshot of your admissions portal showing your acceptance. Our secure automated bot will review it, or pass it to a human moderator if it can't read it clearly.

2Provisional Verification (No Email)

Once approved, you'll get your roles for permanent access. Note: This grants "Provisional" status, which allows you to chat but does not include the "Certified Brunonian" internal role. You can still fully authenticate with a Brown email later to get the certified status.

Recommended

Certified Verification (With Email)

Verifying with your @brown.edu email on this website is the gold standard. It grants you the exclusive Certified Brunonian role, proving your identity 100% to the community.

Privacy Notice: Your screenshot is processed securely by our bot and only viewable by our moderators in a private, audit-logged channel if manual review is needed. We do not permanently host or save your screenshot.

Frequently Asked

What is this Discord server?
The Brown University Class of 2030 Discord is the central community hub for incoming freshmen. It's an online community where you can chat, ask questions, find roommates, and connect with your future classmates before stepping on campus.
How do I get verified?
There are two ways to get verified!
  • Certified (Best): Use our verification portal with your @brown.edu email for permanent access and a "Certified" role.
  • Provisional: Use the /ivy-verify command in Discord to upload your acceptance letter for permanent access to the server (no email required).
Is this server officially run by Brown University?
No, this is a student-run community created by your peers. It is the most active space for the incoming class, but it is not officially affiliated with Brown University administration.
Why do I need to be verified?
Verification prevents spam bots, trolls, and non-students from accessing our unique community spaces. It ensures everyone in the specific channels is actually part of the Class of 2030 or a verified upperclassman.
