“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.”
