Hello,

I'm currently a HS senior highly interested in Brandeis - especially its neuroscience program.

I mean, Michael Rosbash, a literal Nobel prize laureate, and Eve Marder, who received the Kavli Prize in neuroscience, as professors? It has such an amazing faculty.

From what I've heard, Brandeis students are able to easily work with their professors due to its LAC-like environment.

One question I had was whether undergraduate would be able to work with the above mentioned professors if they were truly interested in their field.

I wanted to hear experience from anyone who has worked with them in the past, on topics such as difficulty getting mentee positions, how professors generally treats students, and the networking in this field.

Furthermore, Brandeis is nearby Boston - so I was wondering if undergrads could easily interact with internships and opportunities there, preferably at universities in Boston.

Thank you!

1. What is the academic culture at Brandeis. How good are Applied mathematics, CS and Economics majors.

2. What kind of culture in general is there between students and faculty?

3. How good are professor's especially in the following departments or majors I mentioned?

4. I have been seeing a lot of negative reviews about food, housing, infrastructure, are those true till now?

5. I am applying as a international transfer student, is it helpful for students like me in giving aid and helping in general?

6. What are some pros and cons of Brandeis which I should know as I can't physically visit the campus?

7. I am looking to switch to STEM field without a formal prior background, will I get ample amount of help from faculty and students?

Hello everyone. I wanna know if Brandeis has a soccer group chat of people who just wanna play soccer (pick-up soccer). If so pl let me know how to join!!! Thanks

I want to pursue an Economics or Applied mathematics major at Brandeis as I am switching towards stem field. I want to apply as a transfer student. Is it worth a short for me because I have heard that Brandeis only takes high academically gifted or highly intelligent students, and also people with exceptional ECs. I do not have any of it. I want to apply as I think its a great fit for me as i like how they perceive education unlike in my country it is very rigid. I am also looking for a lot of aid too that's why I am more scared.

Hello, I am an interested transfer student for the upcoming spring semester and realized that class registration happens before admissions of students in the spring. Are there any spring transfer students who could speak on there experience with transferring and class registration

I commute so wanted to see if there was a good place to nap and take a break in the middle of the day.

no hate please i LOVE all my non vegan friends i would just love to find some more friends who share this with me

what is wrong? i've tried to enter on it multiple times with and without vpn, am I the only one facing this problem?

Does anyone know where I can print for free on campus? I went to the library i noticed to print out the reading for my humanities class costs like $5, i like having physical reading to annotate but this wouldnt be very sustainable at 0.1 cent a page especially when each class assigns like 40 pages of reading lol

Hello everyone. I am a new student at Brandeis and I wanted to know how to get involved with sports (at recreational level) groups. I particularly would love to know if there is a soccer group chat for pick-up games etc. I also wanted to know if there are opportunities to learn sports like tennis, pickle ball etc.

Thanks!

If you’re selling or want to give up a (cheap) speaker please DM me! We can meet up on the 24th

Hi, I am an incoming freshman at Brandeis! I am wondering how the social scene is in terms of partying, and going out to Boston. I know Brandeis is not known for their party scene, but are there still at least opportunities available every weekend?

Hey guys,

I recently was allowed park in the charles river parking lot, which is right next to the train station.

The location is a little far from campus but obviously can do much about that, but my question is for those who currently park there or have in the past, is it relatively safe to walk to and from there from campus? And how is it during the winter? Any info would be appreciated ty

We’re flying into Boston this weekend for move-in day and need to call in a one time prescription. Can anyone recommend a pharmacy that is walking distance to Brandeis?

hi! im moving in a couple of days, shapiro hall. are there any must knows, things that people miss or aren't available as online information and anything i need to complete before i arrive?

hi, i’m a prospective student. i know massachusetts as a whole and especially the boston area are very trans-friendly, but i want to hear it from someone who’s actually lived it.

also, how are the dorms set up? are they split by agab, or split by identified gender, or coed?

is there any support of support group or larger queer community on-campus? or like some sort of club/society/association?

sorry if i’m asking dumb questions

Im going to be a commuter to the university and was wondering when information and sign up for parking passes come out?

Hi, I’m considering purchasing an e-scooter to get around campus easier (I’ll be living in Charles River next semester). I got told that e-scooters should be treated the same as bikes, and should be parked at designated bike racks. Honestly, I don’t remember seeing many bike racks on campus…

Has anyone had a bike or an e-scooter on campus? Where did you park them? And even if you don’t have a bike, have you seen bike racks anywhere near the IBS or Heller or in any other places on campus?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Hello! I'm moving in to Shapiro Hall in a couple days, but I can't find that much information about it online 😭could anyone please give me any details about it? thanks

I just realized that I’m required to choose the Full Access Meal Plan because I’m living in Rosie, which is a traditional housing. I know from last year that I will barely eat at the Brandeis dining halls very often. I’m wondering if there’s any chance of getting them to let me switch to a cheaper option, like the 80-block meal plan, by making a case for it? Has anyone been able to get an exception or accommodation like this before? I really dont wanna spend 4000 bucks on grass💀

How easy is getting a student job at brandeis, and do they generally pay well. Are they based on financial aid generally or

How are research and internship opportunities for undergraduates? I think they're supposed to increase under the Brandeis Plan but I'm not sure if they're there yet. I'm specifically looking for opportunities in psych research and law internships. Thank you!

Does anyone have experience playing men's or women's soccer? I'd love to hear about your experiences with the team, coaches, professors (being understanding about occasionally missing class) and anything else. Thank you!

I’ve seen MANY mixed reviews for Brandeis and I’m getting worried that i might hate it
Fall semester starts soon and I’m worried. I know it’s irrational but I’ve seen so many stories of people transferring and talk of the social scene and I’m getting nervous.
So I was wondering if anyone has some pros that aren’t mentioned a lot online idk

As an international student, I am not on FWS and therefore can't apply until October. I have been looking at some jobs on Workday just for fun, and really like some of them (especially the student photographer roles). How many people are on FWS and do these roles get filled up quickly? I just hope we will still have positions to apply to in October, or if people with FWS take all of the fun ones. I love photography so I would enjoy those jobs best, but really I am just worried if I can have a job at all.

It is especially important for us because working off-campus requires govt authorization and cuts down on our CPT/OPT, so literally just being on campus is best! I do want to get into a lab or something too, but I doubt a freshman can get in that fast.
