Brandeis Urban Legends
“While the teachers here are generally knowledgeable and interesting, I think they’re overrated. I definitely don’t think most of them are that stimulating, and I question why students constantly laud their professors. I just don’t feel as passionately about them as they do.”
“Two words: Brandeis goggles. Oh and there are three Gs to describe guys at Brandeis: 1) Girlfriend; 2) Gay; 3) God, not in this lifetime.”
“Most dorms are in good shape, though they all look old, except for the Village. Some are really decrepit, such as Ridgewood. Since at any time except for freshman year, good options are living in a suite, a townhouse, or a hallway. Dorms to avoid include East with small rooms and hallways, and the Castle which is very anti-social. Nice dorms include Rosenthal, Ziv, Ridgewood, the Mods, and the Village.”
