<p>As an alum, I’d say Brandeis is actually really good for experimenting with different fields. A lot of students double major and minor. Many courses in those areas double-count and there are lot of pre-law students at Brandeis, not to mention that the new Brandeis president is a former dean of the GW law school. And of course Brandeis named for a supreme court justice. Brandeis also has a very active mock trial team, model U. N., Student Union Judiciary, and more recently even a an undergraduate law journal. And many students get internships in the DC area. My friend just after graduation won a competitive fellowship to work with Eleanor Norton Holmes. Another graduate worked for Scott Brown after graduation. Some of my pre-law friends were accepted at Chicago and Tulane. </p>

<p>Brandeis is also better I think if you would prefer a campus experience, but it’s still really easy to get into Boston. And Waltham actually has a good selection of restaurants if you want to stay nearby.</p>
