<p>I think Brandeis student are intellectual in a good way. When eating meals, may hear students talking about “intellectual” things like new information from courses or world events. If you think that’s nerdy, then maybe Brandeis isn’t the best choice for you. Brandeis students definitely take a great interest in their studies and are very aware of and engaged with current events. I think that’s a plus. With that said, there’s still time to chill informally with friends in the Res Halls or go to parties and on-campus events.</p>
