Brandeis In A Nutshell
Founded in 1948 by the American Jewish communtiy, Brandeis University is a top tier research university with a liberal arts feel. Brandeis has over 40 majors and 50 minors in a range of fields, including sciences, social sciences, humanities and creative arts. Brandeis is an academically rigorous university with a caring and collaborative atmosphere. Many students participate in research in the dozens of reasearch centers on campus, while also taking leadership roles in the over 200 on campus clubs.
Located in Waltham, Massachussets, Brandeis is about a 20 minute drive from downtown Boston. Brandeis provides free shuttles into Waltham, Boston and Cambridge, giving students the opportunity to explore the area surrounding the campus.
Most students live on campus for their entire Brandeis experience, and this is mostly because of the community here. The Brandeis community is a very close, tight-knit community, so there is next to no reason to live any further than you need to. Brandeis has two kosher dining options, with one dining hall serving a full kosher buffet for 3 meals a day, in addition to a deli. The on campus convenience store also has a bunch of snacks, sandwiches, deli and much more. This is all in addition to a local kosher market and many kosher restaurants in the area.
