With that saidβ¦the social scene is non existent, and I mean that. On a scale of I would be generous in giving it a 3. The student population rather sit in the dorms and not socialize than party on campus or go into Boston.
It was really sad. This sucks because Brandeis was a top choice of mine. I can deal with the cold weather, the weird campus architecture, the religiousness, and possibly an extremely lacking social scene with students who have to be from different planet, but one thing I cant go out with is hot chicks. For me looks attract and personality keeps. I only saw 3 hot chicks on campus.
I will probably have to visit again in the spring to figure this out. I wonder if all top 3rd schools in the nation are like Brandeisβ¦from what I have been told, Brandeis is one of the special ones. Based on your post, I think she should stick with him. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder. A close friend of my son is in his sophomore year. He absolutely loves the school, both for the social life and academics.
I get the feeling, though, that his friends tend more towards relationships than one-night flings. They seem happy with their choices. Beyond the great academics, I also felt something was lacking. Many more students participated in mutltiple activities. Regarding social scene, I, personally, went to two parties this weekend and turned down a third. I am not going to debate you on my personal preferences but you definitely cannot categorize it into one thing. Secondly, I felt that Brandeis was very diverse, but contrary to that, you are correct with that there are very few tall blondes or blondes in general, which you probably find less on the east coast then on the west coast.
Granted I did not meet everyone, and I mostly only hungout with freshmen. I did meet quite a few people from all age groups, and the people I did hang out with seemed to be doing more social things then the rest of the majority.
