<p>I believe the original intent of this thread was misrepresented. If I wanted to list all of the positive attributes of this school (of which there are many), I would have named this topic something else. The purpose of this thread is to show that students with financial hardships will have a hard time here. Food and other issues are obviously secondary. I’m thrilled that so many people on this thread love Brandeis or have kids who do, but I didn’t hear any mention of financial troubles in those posts. That’s fine, but please be aware that many students, such as myself, need to work to pay for tuition, room and board, books, and other expenses. Students will likely find it very hard to find jobs here. Please feel free to ignore this thread entirely and start a new one about the glories of Brandeis if your kids don’t need to work or don’t mind going into massive debt. This posting was for kids that do.</p>
