<p>From the vibe I got when I visited and from what Ive read in various books, Brandeis students tends to be more intellectual and focused on academics, while BC’s tends to be a little more sports focused (though its students perform well academically, also). Academically they are pretty similar. Youll get a great education at both. Prestige-wise, theyre both top schools, but BC probably gets the edge based on it being a more household name. BCs campus is nicer. Personally, though, I liked Brandeis better overall. I just got a warmer feel from the student body.
Good luck in your search.</p>
