<p>As someone who goes to Brandeis, and had to deal with the horrendous housing lottery, I can tell you that Brandeis may not have any issues for freshmen, but will have astronomical issues housing those students the next year. Friendships are broken during the process. Ask any upperclassmen at the school. </p>
<p>Rumor on the street is that the school is trying to expand (i.e. current freshman class is 100 more than any before). And they accepted more, with roughly a 25-30% yield, so roughly 900-1000 kids in next years class. However, they have yet to build any more dorms… It makes no sense, but that’s Brandeis for you.</p>
<p>Sorry, I just laughed when I saw this post, and thought I’d respond.</p>
