Can Brandeis house them all?

I don’t think it is speculation, because people have been talking about Brandeis campus crowding (lack of study space, lines in cafeterias, need for more BranVans, etc) for a couple of years. I know this because I have had my eye on Brandeis for some time and I read the student newspapers online. There are candidates for student government who identified crowding as the top issue in their campaigns. According to the faculty, the Justice Brandeis Semester was developed as a response to crowding on campus.

Again, this may be a trivial issue. Maybe every campus complains about this. Maybe some people don’t mind this type of problem. But for those who are sensitive to this type of issue, it’s probably good to know that Brandeis is increasing undergraduate enrollment by 400 students over 5 years, that they are in the middle of the process, and that, therefore, someone who went to Brandeis even 5 years ago had a different experience than an entering freshman would have today.
