Also...Brandeis is quite diverse, but the extent to which you experience it depends a huge amount on which classes you take and which activities you participate in. It's possible to miss if you hang out largely in your own community, and in certain departments. I remember watching the Asian Awareness Week closing ceremonies last year with a friend, a science major, who was scanning the packed atrium and realizing he knew almost everyone there. I barely recognized _anyone_, which considerably weirded me out. I certainly didn't look to end up in an ethnic social niche at college -- anything but; that was one of my concerns about going to Brandeis in the first place -- but when I wasn't looking it seemed to have happened anyway.
