Brandeis University Reviews
Otherwise, Brandeis leaves a lot to be desired. Housing is pretty terrible and it's pretty expensive. The food is very bad and unhealthy. The administration is terrible. They love preying on BIPOC spaces and events while severely excluding our community. There are too few Latinxs. The social justice mission is a lie.
Takeaways:
PhD has value, Grad school? No. Especially IBS.
Pre-Med: Okay, high demand, better options.
Finance/Corporate Jobs: Negative. Transfer if you can.
Business: Not competitive, weak.
STEM: The Math department is excellent, and the Chemistry/Bio department is great. Physics is good but go to an engineering school instead if you care more about applications. CS is negative, many ppl do it, but you'd have a better headstart elsewhere.
Humanities: Fair. The creative arts and social sciences have good support.
Athletics: Performace in all is bad except fencing.
