<p>At Brandeis you will probably get something between the two; A person who is a little ticked off trying to play it cool, maybe. You just need to remember that (since you live in Jersey) you have probably lived in a bubble your whole life, and if you decide to go to Brandeis, you will be entering an even bigger, less transparent bubble. There are definitely pro-whatever-Israel-does sentiments on campus, but its not overwhelming. I think your view of Brandeis is that when something goes down in the Middle East, everyone on campus is rioting and picketing and going nuts, when that’s just not how it is. Like I said, Brandeis, like many other schools, is in a huge bubble, and when things are happening in the outside world, it really doesn’t directly affect a lot of the students who are just so focused on school and whatnot. There are a few people who really (but not really) care what’s going on in the Middle East, but the majority could really care less. Besides, you shouldn’t base your school choice on whether or not the students are pro-Israel or not.</p>
