<p>I was also deciding between Case and Brandeis after I visited Case last weekend for Admit day. I finally decided on Brandeis because I felt the campus was smaller and more intimate than Case’s campus. At Case, the campus was really beautiful though! I thought Case would have a lot to offer to people who would want to go into engineering and the sciences. Brandeis is also a good university for science majors because of the research opportunities available. I also chose Brandeis because I like Boston better than Cleveland XD.
Good luck making the decision! I met a tour guide at Case who also decided between Case and Brandeis but she chose Case =) [obviously… lol since i met her there =)] She seemed really happy. She commented that Case is the “underdog of the Ivies” but I thought Brandeis is also an Ivy-qualified school…
I don’t know much about the financial situation at Brandeis… Honestly, Case would have been cheaper for me [got a financial package of 48,000 dollars] because Brandeis gave me 39,000 dollars but I thought I would be more involved at Brandeis’ community. I only know about the Madoff scandal that everyone is talking about… and I thought it only affected the donors of the Shapiro family, not the school itself? I read somewhere Tufts invested with Madoff and lost 20 million though…</p>
