@JerryBerry I think something else to consider is the research aspect that each school offers. If you are intending to pursue graduate school in neuroscience then doing research will be a big part of that. What Brandeis offers is the opportunity for undergraduate students to work in active neuroscience research lab’s and start assisting neuroscience graduate students and post-doctorate candidates in their research. Eventually, once skilled enough, an undergraduate student can have an experiment of their own and perhaps even get published in a paper. Being published and having lab experience is a huge leg up in this field. Post-graduation you would already be more qualified than others to work as a lab technician in a lab before pursuing graduate school. That is something that does make Brandeis unique in that way because even though it’s small, it has a strong research aspect.

What is it that you want to do with neuroscience? Research or theoretical (which I think also includes some research)?
