<p>I have been accepted to both and both seem like good schools. I plan on dual majoring in philosophy and computer science. I also plan to go on to Law School. Any advice would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>As a Brandeis parent, you can imagine which way I’d vote ;)</p>
<p>For more informed opinions, try posting your question on each school’s forum:

<p>Good luck</p>
<p>Can you please elaborate?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>These two schools are so different culturally that they are difficult to compare. </p>
<p>These are the words I associate with each of their cultures:</p>
<p>Brandeis: intellectual; social justice; liberal; Jewish; nerdy, New England; egalitarian; Div III sports</p>
<p>Lafayette: preppy, jocks, Protestant, rich, mid-Atlantic, Div I sports</p>
<p>Admittedly, these are stereotypes and I have no doubt that you will find students at each of these schools who don’t fit the stereotype, and I have no doubt that one can obtain a good education at either. But these are very different places.</p>
