Campus Visit Notes for Brandeis University

Visit Description:

We attended an information session followed by a tour. The University focuses on undergraduate education with small classes and accessible professors. Many Brandeis graduates have become successful in media, science and business. Brandeis activities are open to all students, or they don't receive funding.
Brandeis students study hard, but also have many activities to join to make friends and explore outside interests. I don't think there is any greek life at Brandeis. No one would confuse Brandeis with a party or drinking school.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):

Boston, Cambridge and even Waltham are accessible by the T or Bran Van. The T stop is a 20 minute walk.
