<p>Well, there’s this: Brandeis afforded my (non-jewish) daughter a 1st class educational experience she wouldn’t trade for the world. The school appears to have weathered its financial hiccup of 2008 and continues to do a fine job providing services, amenities and support to its students. </p>
<p>Much credit is due to the fine faculty, staff & academic programs @ Brandeis. D enjoyed a semester abroad, a lifetime of wonderful memories & close friendships, and will matriculate at a Top 10 Law school (with merit $$) this fall, and has grown exponentially as an independent young adult.</p>
<p>(BTW, her group of graduating roommates/friends includes several Teach for America appointees, a Fulbright scholar, & recipients of numerous other prestigious awards. Those not pursuing additional education/fellowships have found employment in their respective fields.)</p>
<p>Perhaps financial adversity makes us stronger?? </p>
<p>Just sayin.</p>
