Boston experiences the coldest weather in decades

(02/14/23 11:00am)

With the weather this week having daily highs in the 50s and even 60s, it’s shocking to imagine that just the Saturday before last, the temperature was minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of minus 36 degrees. That Saturday was the coldest day in Boston since 1957 and the second coldest wind chill in Boston ever. The conditions brought both joy and frustration to Brandeis students.

Record-high enrollment leads to concerns of overcrowding in first-year housing

(02/14/23 11:00am)

 The current first year class is composed of 1,007 students, a 54 student increase from the 953 students enrolled in the class year between 2021 and 2022. According to Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Timothy Touchette in a Feb. 3 interview with the Justice, only four more lofted triples were filled than in the previous year. But several first-year students shared that triples appear to be a common housing arrangement among their class: “I'm in a forced triple. Half the floor is forced triples. Half of my friends are in forced triples,” one first-year said.

New female-identifying-only weight room hour at Gosman

(02/07/23 11:00am)

The Gosman Weight Room will only be open to female-identifying people every Tuesday from 8 to 9 p.m. Spearheaded by Kyla Ginsberg ’25, this initiative will begin on Feb. 7. In a Feb. 2 interview with the Justice, Ginsberg explained her inspiration for advocating to the Gosman faculty for this hour, saying that she wanted to go to the gym with her friends, but many were hesitant because of concerns “having to do with the fact there are a lot of men there.” She then spoke of her friend who goes to the University of Vermont where they implemented a similar program at their gym, inspiring Ginsberg to try to implement it at Brandeis.
