Can Brandeis house them all?

Maybe someone at today’s admitted students day program will ask and report back.

I know that campus crowding has been mentioned in the student newspaper a number of times, and some students campaigning for student government last spring included issues related to campus crowding in their platforms. I don’t go to Brandeis, so of course I don’t know first-hand, but I read about kids having difficulty finding space in the library to study, long lines in the dining halls, and whatnot, which seemed to be new problems for the school.

Yes, it’s a small class, but if it’s bigger than they are set up to accommodate, the benefits are tempered by that issue. If you happen to be someone who gets stressed out by things like whether or not you can find a seat in the dining hall or a desk in the library or a seat on the BranVan, you might be influenced one way or another by the increase in class size. If not, great.
