Would an Asian feel left out (or discriminated)?

How are the racial minorities at Brandeis? Is ethnicity a big factor in the social scene? How does a non-white non-Jewish person fare at Brandeis?

Brandeis has a great diversity....many people think its jewish but I wouldn't worry because Brandeis has numerous international students and minority students....this issue has been addressed in multiple threads and I suggest you to read those posts for further knowledge

No, you won't be discriminated against and you won't be lonely--there are lots of Asian students at Brandeis.

brandeis has the following clubs: Asian American Students Assoc.; Chinese Cultural Connection; Japanese Student Assoc.; Korean Student Assoc.; South Asian Student Association; and the Southeast Asia Club. Club Center (i have no knowledge as to how active any of these clubs are.)

you can find links at the above site for the various clubs and you should be able to find contacts for club leaders -- contacting them may be the best way for you to get the answers you are looking for.
