<p>Another thought about Rochester’s Open Curriculum- while it great that there are no required sequences for all freshmen, I preferred the Brandeis approach which is similar but actually much more flexible than Rochester with the exception of foreign language requirement,although it is easy to place out. For us that was not an issue at all as both wanted to continue language study as part of study abroad. Brandeis does require a year of non-graded physical education and there are many choices.</p>
