Chill Atmosphere

Brandeis is pretty chill about drinking/partying. That being said, the cops break most on-campus parties up by 1 or 2. Off-campus parties, however, generally last longer. Also, you can smoke pretty much anywhere (except in the freshman dorms).

Only a Freshmen, but Like What I See So Far

Brandeis was named after the first Jewish supreme court justice, with that in mind I feel that Brandeis has a particularly excellent program. The politics department has very well known professors and the politics classes I have taken so far have been very interesting, and the professors are definitely enthusiastic about what they teach. Politics can be a very dry topic but the professors do a good job at making the class seem interesting,

Can't Complain

Lots of Jews, lots of international students, some racial diversity, some economic diversity (Brandeis is actually really great about giving scholarships to underprivileged students), active queer community. Can't complain too much.
