I was just accepted to Brandeis, with the Blue Ribbon thing. Brandeis is really good when it comes to Merit Aid, I got the Dean scholarship, and they have a ton of other merit scholarships available.

I think Brandeis is rising in prestige, especially given President Carter’s recent speech there. As a University, it has a wide array of resources and its proximity to Boston inevitably provides both education opportunities and fun on the weekends. Brandeis is also well equipped with many academic fields, from science to humanities. It is very Jewish, so if Judaism is something you’re uncomfortable with, Brandeis probably isn’t your place. I’m not Jewish, but I don’t mind the Jewish presence on campus. The campus from an aesthetic point is somewhat lacking, it isn’t a type of place where there’s mansions and eye-shattering architecture. It’s somewhat urban, but I felt as though it provided a comfortable environment, partly due to the lack of beautiful, overwhelming landscaping, etc.

Just my two cents (or more) on Brandeis. I like it, I’m pretty likely to attend (although I’m still waiting on a few other colleges), and it’s worth considering!
