Brandeis University's Community Newspaper — Waltham, Mass.
Brandeis is an amazing school, founded on the principles of allowing any student to attend, regardless of race or religion. Yet if our school’s principles highlight this inclusiveness, why is it so impossible to navigate? Why is our school so inaccessible to the handicapped? About a month ago I had an unfortunate skiing accident, tearing […]
This past Sunday, Brandeis had two big events happen simultaneously: the annual Admitted Students Day and ’Deis Day designed to promote school spirit. Both days not only require many volunteer services, but also a lot of mental capacity. As students, we were told by school officials that “Admitted Students Day is the single most important […]
The rules regarding hanging up posters would be draconian if they made sense. So all posters or fliers must be “approved/stamped by the Department of Student Activities or the Campus Center Team,” that much I can follow. I am a little perplexed by what the Campus Center Team is, but apparently both are located at […]
This week is Bronstein Week. Who was Bronstein? Why do we celebrate him, or better yet, why do we celebrate him with making slime and learning about “Rugrats”? I loved Tommy Pickles just as much as anyone else, but I don’t have the time or the interest to pretend I am six years old again. […]
This week, Brandeis’ Muslim Student Association hosted their annual Islam Awareness Week, a series of events designed to break down stereotypes and increase non-Muslim students’ knowledge about Islam. This year marked a higher attendance in various events, many of which were centered around highlighting the social issues that Muslims face around the world today. Islam […]
As someone who has attended her fair share of car shows as a child, it is in my nature to appreciate a quality vehicle. I am biased to the classics, but how could I ignore some of the new BMWs and Audis parked around campus? I think there might even be a Maserati driving around […]
I think it’s time I come out of the closet about something. I have told my parents about this, kept them up to date with my progress, and they have been extremely supportive about the whole affair. General media and society have respected the circumstances I have been through, and numerous people I know have […]
It goes without saying that college students are tremendously busy. Whether it pertains to academics, extracurricular activities or socializing, one’s schedule is often teeming with an array of events. As perpetual as this cycle may seem, it is still important to remind ourselves of what occurs outside of college. Everyday history is being shaped, in […]
I must say that I deeply enjoy being around various places on campus as tour groups pass by. There’s something exciting about being observed in my natural habitat of the SCC library as parents and prospective students pass by, scrutinizing me like I’m some sort of fascinating furry creature in his own terrarium. While in […]
Dear Eliana, My French professor assigned a group project as the final for my class, and we weren’t allowed to pick the groups. That’s fine with me, but I’m not so sure that I can trust the other people in the group to contribute their fair share of the workload. I don’t know any of […]
