Good reviews

Amazing professors and some of the kindest students I've ever met. The food is not gourmet food but it has lots of healthy options and variety. The school really focuses on continuously improving and listening to the students. Ever since campus protests broke out, the schools reputation has improved drastically. Solid gym, safe school, I love it

Brandeis is a fantastic institution with fantastic post graduation opportunities. The course selection is incredibly engaging and interesting. The social scene, like any school, is what you make of it. It is not a party school, but rather a school where you have the chance to create an amazing social circle filled with talented and creative people.
