Around Town

There's always the athletic center where there's always someone playing basketball, squash, or just working out on the treadmills and bicycles. On the weekends, most students go out to Boston and go to huge shopping malls, eat some awesome food, or watch a movie.

Campus parties, off-campus frat/sorority parties (personally, I did not enjoy these much), and when you hit 21, you can go off-campus and enjoy the nightlife that Boston has to offer. If you can afford it, I recommend getting a car. Makes life easier.

There are countless activities occurring on campus on a given day: performances by A Capella or improvisation groups, concerts, coffee houses, and presentations by clubs. Brandeis also offers free and easily accessible transportation into the local Waltham area, Harvard Square, and Boston.

Brandeis has shuttles Thursday-Sunday that will take you into Cambridge or Boston for free. I definitely recommend heading into Boston often. In addition there are many events on campus, including Chum's Coffeehouse which features local bands or artists every weekend.

Student Events always has tons of awesome things going on, ranging anywhere from mini-golf to concerts (last year we had Childish Gambino and fun.), and the best part is that all of their events are free! Other than that, most people will spend their free time hanging out with friends, watching movies, or going into Boston. Brandeis runs a free shuttle into the city, Thursday through Sunday, so that's always a really nice option to have on weekends. If you're looking for a party school, Brandeis isn't for you. There are parties, but they're usually pretty tame, and when they get out of control, they get broken up quickly. Unless you're going to college looking for ragers and this is a dealbreaker for you, you'll never have to look far to find something to do.

Student events.

Tons of clubs, sports, parties on the weekends, and easy (and free) access to Boston.

Join the clubs, go to events. There is always something happening that you can go to.

Order frozen yogurt from Prospects (they deliver to Brandeis!), go down to Dartmouth street for a party, or go to any theater productions (they happen all the time).

Waltham is beautiful but Boston is very close so that offers numerous possibilities for having fun
