Brandeis: The Big Picture
I love that Brandeis is a small Univeristy with. I do wish that the food and the athletic facilities were better.
People are surprised when I tell them I go to Brandeis because I'm not Jewish. Obviously talks about Judaism are a little more frequent than at any other college, but I feel that I fit in on campus. As long as you are open-minded and willing to learn than Brandeis is a wonderful campus.
The college town is not really a college town.
I think Brandeis is a great campus. The best day I have had a Brandeis was last spring during Springfest. The Great Lawn had music playing all day, I went to play ultimate with some friends in the sun, I had a picnic dinner at the top of the castle, went to the culture x show later than evening. I finished the evening with a party with the ultimate team.
Brandeis Academic Life
Professors do know my name. The professors are generally very approachable and really enjoy when students come to talk to them after class or during office hours. My favorite class is Biology and my least favorite is Organic Chemistry. Most students are very studious.
The pre-med students are somewhat competitive, but definitely not cutthroat.
Brandeis's Student Body
i hear way more about Judaism then sometimes i would like to. I think a student that is not open-minded would feel out of place.
Students are generally pretty casual on what they wear to class, jeans, a t-shirt and some sort of fleece jacket is the average outfit.
In the dining hall there are four tables
the one closest to the check out has a group of former varsity soccer players and current basketball players
the one near the wall has zbt boys and their affiliated girls
the one near the entrance has international students
the other one has a conglomerate of kids that are generally being pretty goofy
Brandeis Student Activities + Social Life
Most popular organizations are political and SEA (students for environmental action)
I am involved with the Ultimate frisbee team. It's a great group of people and most of my closest friends are on the team.
