<p>I agree with unbelieveablem. Being the recipient of a scholarship really doesn’t make any difference once you get to Brandeis except for the amount that you pay. I am in love with the Jewish community here. I’m an observant Conservative Jew and I worry every week how I will ever replace the rich community that I find here after I graduate. Don’t let your son write off Brandeis just because they didn’t “want you enough.” If money’s the issue, negotiate. If it’s a matter of pride, don’t let that stand in the way of an amazing academic and Jewish experience. I visited UChicago for a Shabbat and there’s just no comparison.</p>
