" (comp sci major) there is no computer lab bruh. Although we learn quite quickly (by taking hand written notes since our teacher bans laptops), i find that many students struggle in the lecture format that our classes offer. I believe that it is very important for subjects such as this to provide as much hands on experience with coding as possible, instead of just listening to a teacher talk about the specific capabilities of code and how to convert such capabilities into code, we should be able to code ourselves within class where we have access to valuable resources such as the teacher and other students. I especially notified this when our first midterm average was a 69%, and many students did not finish in the allotted time given. "

" I enjoyed my time there, the connections I made, the classes I took, and learning from the professors. It's near enough to Boston that you can visit and yet far enough away that you can enjoy some quiet on campus. Brandeis offers great internship and job connections. "

" Great experience at Brandeis university. I joined remotely during the pandemic because I wanted to continue my education. I chose Brandeis because of the ranking of the institution and prestige of the program. I had the opportunity to meet people at top companies and collaborate with them. Also I got the opportunity to learn from professors at the top of their field. Overall it was a great experience and would definitely recommend it "

" The area of study and academic staff are exceptional. But there are challenges of being a remote student and Brandeis is no exception to these difficulties. Piromdently the ability to connect in a meaningful way with classmates. "

" Brandeis is such a mid school, it's honestly overrated. Most of the professors are okay, or bad, not good. The social scene is kinda cliquey. The food sucks, the campus is ugly. But hey, despite all the negatives of the school you'll find nothing but pride, for some inapparent reason. If I had to guess, most students here don't know what they're missing "
