<p>I get the sense Colby is a more enjoyable time, is part of the camaderie of the NESCAC, more well known and has more well-adjused students. The yield at Brandeis is a fair bit lower and feel the entire place is for those rejected by Tufts, Penn, Brown. Even if the resulting student body is just as strong, if not a little stronger at Brandeis, I don't get the sense that there is as happy an atmosphere at Brandeis. This is the type of thing where you really should try to visit both and get a sense of where you fit best.</p>
