Brandeis






Brandeis is an interesting place. There is a really cool looking castle in the middle of campus that serves as a dorm. About half of the 3200 undergrads identify themselves as Jewish but the school prides itself on including everyone and being non judgemental- despite their nickname "the Judges"! The school was started in 1948by the likes of Albert Einstein, Leonard Bernstein, and Eleanor Roosevelt.

Economics and Psychology are the most popular majors but Physics is said to be very strong here as well as PreMed and PreLaw. The Arts and Humanities thrive here through student run groups and college sponsored clubs and performances. It's a very selective school and most who get in do stay. After graduation, most attend grad school. Many work for PeaceCorps and Teach America as well.
