According to Moroccan-born Israeli anthropologist and author André Levy, “In my eyes, anthropology, more than any other discipline in the social sciences, aspires to be present in life itself, in order to make sense of it and to give it meaning. It attempts to understand human action from an immediate closeness of which there is no comparison in the social sciences.”

Like many Brandeis students, David Benger ’14 was a first-year with diverse interests and no intention of settling on one life path — at least not before exploring where each of his passions might lead. As a first-year he took classes in the Near Eastern and Judaic Studies department and spent the summer learning Yiddish. The year after, he took up a minor in Theater Arts, involving himself in productions on and off campus. He polished his Russian to fluency with a major in Russian Studies, took on a second major in Politics and although he was enjoying his academic experience, a career path had not clicked.

Boston is home to an incredibly vast collection of museums. The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum are among some of the most well-known, but dozens of smaller galleries and museum spaces also fill the greater Boston area — from our own Rose Art Museum to the Fuller Craft Museum to the Addison Gallery of American Art. As a student, it can be hard to justify the price of general admission for a museum visit but, luckily, museums realize this and cater to students. Many have student discounts — the MFA, for example, is completely free for Brandeis students — and many offer free college nights. So take advantage of your time in Boston and explore its fantastic, immense and eclectic arts scene. Here are a few exhibits opening this spring that are worth a visit.
