What is Brandeis’ relationship with the other colleges in the area like Wellesley, Babson, Bentley? Do students go to other schools’ parties? Can they take classes at the other ones? Or is it uncommon and people usually stay on their campus?
My daughter is an alum but she graduated 10 years ago so this information is not current. At the time there was a Brandeis-Wellesley orchestra but I don’t believe that there is cross-registration with any of the other schools. There was an upper level art history seminar at the MFA and each school including Brandeis could select 2 students to participate. That said many people attending Brandeis will have friends attending other schools in the area and I know that my d went to visit friends at Tufts and they visited her at Brandeis. Same with BU, MIT and Harvard.
Cross registration has opened up quite a lot. Some of the schools even have busses going between them (not sure Brandeis is one of these schools or if transportation is on the kid). The Brandeis-Wellesley Orchestra still exists.
