<p>I think the answer to this question is that Brandeis while heavily Jewish is very concerned with being welcoming to others. I think that being Jewish is part of that, as Jews are so used to being in the minority that they will often go out of their way to accommodate others.</p>
<p>On other levels, however, Brandeis is not ideal. If the Israel/Palestine conflict is a big issue for you, you will find the campus on the whole rabidly pro-Israel. Judaism is a big force on campus, though not nearly as big as it would be in a school with an official religion. </p>
<p>More positive aspe cts however include the fact thatNon-denominational and non religious prayer services led by the pretty great chaplancy are quite common. The Muslim chaplain is a fantastic person very involved in the peace and activism community on campus. There is a peace room where anyone can go to meditate or worship freely. Also, Boston has a large Muslim community with a lot of opportunity for student involvement.</p>
