Brandeis has a reputation for being quiet at concerts. At last year’s SpringFest, headliner Jessie J told the audience that they were “the most well-behaved crowd” she’s ever had. It can seem like Brandeisian concertgoers are more interested in contemplating an artist’s lyrics and musical choices than cutting loose and having fun. But for the roughly 200 people in the Levin Ballroom on Saturday hearing rappers Mick Jenkins and Russ, the stereotype of the Brandeis student was shattered to pieces, as the crowd ate up every second of the strobe-lit, high-volume performances.

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.
