<p>Have a son who's very confused...accepted brandeis vs u of rochester, financial packages almost identical...though feel brandeis is most prestigious and can offer more research opportunites since it's so close to boston school, or is this wrong...any advice/feedback on schools..clock is ticking...</p>
<p>URochester is actually more prestigious than Brandeis, and offers a greater range of research opportunities.</p>
<p>URochester also has the Eastman School, so they fly in many performers, etc...it feels more like a liberal arts college than Brandeis, and is more intimate...a boon for grad school recs.</p>
