'While the teachers here are
generally knowledgeable and interesting, I think they're overrated. I definitely don't think most of them are that stimulating, and I question why students constantly laud their professors. I just don't feel as passionately about them as they do.'
'
Two words: Brandeis goggles. Oh and there are three Gs to describe guys at Brandeis: 1) Girlfriend; 2) Gay;
3) God, not in this lifetime.'
'Most dorms are in good shape, though they all look old, except for the Village.
Some are really decrepit, such as Ridgewood. Since at any time except for freshman year, good options are living in a suite, a townhouse, or a hallway. Dorms to avoid include East with small rooms and hallways, and the Castle which is very anti-social. Nice dorms include Rosenthal, Ziv, Ridgewood, the Mods, and the Village.'

The College Prowler Process
While writing our series of college guides, we felt it was critical that our content was unbiased and unaffiliated with any college or university. By hiring current students as authors, we strive to create college guides that truly represent each campus. Our guides cover both the good and the bad, and whether survey responses point to recurring trends or varying opinions, these sentiments are directly and proportionally expressed through our guides.
From the very beginning, student writers gather the most up-to-date stats, facts, and inside information on their colleges. They fill each section with student quotes and summarize the findings in editorial reviews. In addition, each school receives a collection of letter grades (A through F) that reflect student opinion. Once a guide is written, additional college students serve as editors and check for accuracy even more extensively. This same process is applied to all of the 258 colleges and universities College Prowler currently covers. Each guide is the result of endless student contributions, hundreds of pages of research and writing, and countless hours of hard work. All of this has led to the creation of a student information network that stretches across the nation. It’s no easy accomplishment, but it’s the reason that our guides are such a great resource.
