A small tight-knit community. Super welcoming and accepting of everyone. Academically rigorous beyond belief.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you're looking for a place that'll challenge you academically while staying true to a smaller sized college, Brandeis is a good place for you. It isn't necessarily a party school and it lacks the exciting flare of a Boston college, but it makes up for it in wonderful students who are all enthusiastic about being there and wanting to make a difference.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Most people either have a double major or multiple minors and constantly take on more than they can handle. But they do it well. Brandeis isn't a place you would go if you want to breeze through college.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The dorms vary in quality. Freshman dorms tend to be cramped and uninspiring, but there is a castle on campus for sophomores and juniors and some of the newer dorms are super nice.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Not the most inspiring and flavor-filled food you're going to find at an educational institution. There are two main dining halls, one which has a buffet style serving and one which is like a food court. There's also some small coffee shops around campus and a store which is usually well-stocked.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Waltham isn't what you would call the epicenter of fun. Taking a free shuttle into Boston on the weekends is the best bet. You're bound to find someone in the dorms organizing a game night or you can go check out the multitude of different performances that are constantly going on around campus.
