Wise words from @soze and @mamamoose.
I’d also point out that the negative and disgruntled comments in this thread are from people who are not actually at Brandeis.
And the remark that “Brandeis is supposed to be the hub of Jewish intellectualism in higher education” is not how the university describes itself, but rather was cited by @soze as an example of misinformation. It was posted by someone whose “parents best friend attended Brandeis”, who did not apply or appear to have visited, and whose comments about the Ayaan Hirsi Ali episode were also factually inaccurate.
Please don’t make any assumptions about how your kid would fit in at Brandeis from this thread. It’s unfortunate that more current students do not post on this forum (I suspect that they have migrated to Facebook). If you can’t visit the campus, get in touch with some current students to further explore your concerns. You can send private messages to those who have posted here or on other threads, check out the Facebook crowd, or ask the admissions office to put you in touch with current students from your area (or in the case of @bpatient, ask to talk to others in the Leader-Scholar Community).
