QUOTES FROM OUR STUDENTS
“I love that there’s complete academic freedom at Brandeis.
I’m studying biology, but at the same time I’m taking music classes, history classes, language classes, and other courses across a ton of different disciplines. I appreciate that I can study whatever I’m interested in, regardless of my majors and minors.”
Ari G. ’27
“From the first day I arrived on campus,
I have experienced the warmth and kindness of the Brandeis community. I have met amazing people everywhere, from my residential building, to clubs, classes, and events, and have been able to form deep connections with other students from all different backgrounds.”
Isabella s. ’26
