Brandeis also offers many internships and studying abroad that are available to its" students. A further advantage to Brandeis is that "students may cross register with Boston College, Boston University, Tufts University, Wellesley College, Babson College, and Bently College (Baron's 722)". .
Brandeis offers a very large array of financial aid. Of the students in the class of 2003, 70% received merit or need based financial assistance. The average need based grant was $13,583. The total amount of need based financial aid was $6.8 million. The total amount of merit based grants was $2.6 million. (Brandeis 6) Although the financial aspect of going to college is not one that I will have to worry about, these statistics show that the financial aid from Brandies could help those who really need it. Financial aid can sometimes play a big part in deciding where to go to college. .
In addition to the great academics at Brandeis, there are also many fun clubs, organizations, and sports to join. A few of these that I would consider important in my college career that Brandeis offers include, Hillel, a Jewish group, the Pre-law society, .
the Israeli dance troupe, and the Republicans Club. (Brandeis 4) Each of these organizations would help me stay focused on my beliefs and ambitions. .
Overall, Brandies University is a school that I would love to attend. Everything from its academics, to its extra curricular activities are great. Brandeis is also my dream college. The only problem is that it is a reach school for me (and most of the nation). .
Another school that I am interested in attending is George Washington University. George Washington is located in Washington DC. The tuition is about $28,000 per year plus room and board. George Washington has a 49% acceptance rate and is considered a difficult school to get into due to the large number of applicants. George Washington has 8168 students enrolled in its" undergraduate programs.
