<p>I wouldn’t say Brandeis’ faculty is “undoubtedly stronger”. That’s a very subjective assessment. As a Hamilton grad, I couldn’t really offer an informed opinion on the quality of Brandeis’ staff (much like a Brandeis alum probably couldn’t be trusted to make a worthwhile assessment of Hamilton’s faculty). But I can say that the quality of teaching at my alma mater is top-rate. If I were a top academic whose first priority is teaching, I think I would be attracted to a top LAC with a strong reputation for close teacher-student interaction. But that’s just me…</p>
