Brandeis is far too harsh on its STEM students.

For being an R1 research school, the conditions and support given to students pursuing majors in STEM are abysmal. As a humanities student, I barely see my Chemistry major roommates. Between 8 a.m. classes that start before I wake up to four hour labs that deprive them of meals, the STEM students at Brandeis struggle more than other students, not because of the content of their major, but because of the vendetta Brandeis seems to have against letting them have any free time. Regardless of one’s major, we should all stand with STEM students as they fight to survive the spring semester.
