Visiting Campus
Brandeis strongly encourages prospective students and their families to visit our beautiful suburban campus at any time throughout the year. Although walk-in visitors are always welcome, we recommend scheduling ahead.
Lunch with a Brandeis Student
The Office of Admissions offers the opportunity for visiting students to sit down and have lunch with a current Brandeis student. Please note, these registrations are limited and fill up quickly.
Tours and Information Sessions
Student-led tours are generally held several times a day Monday through Friday, and at 11AM on selected Saturdays. Tours leave from the Carl & Ruth Shapiro Admissions Center and generally last about one hour.
During certain times of the year, information sessions, which last about 45 minutes, are held two times a day (10:15AM and 2:15PM) in the Carl & Ruth Shapiro Admissions Center. They are scheduled so that a tour is available before or after the program, and are typically not available during the months of January, February, and most of March. To register, once at the calendar, select a tour date and time. This will take you to a registration form, where you can then select an information session time.
To register for an official tour of campus without an information session during Jan. 25-29, Feb. 1-12, Feb. 22-26 or March 1-17, click here. For all other dates, please follow the link below to register.
InterviewsOn-campus interviews with an admissions representative are available to students beginning the summer prior to their senior year of high school. In addition, off-campus interviews with a Brandeis alum are available to prospective students during the fall and winter of their senior year.
Group Visits
For groups of 10 or more people, we ask that you submit a separate request. Please note that we are only able to accommodate group visits Monday through Friday when the Office of Admissions is open.
Self-Guided Tour
If you are unable to make one of our regularly scheduled times, we encourage you to download a self-guided tour for your visit and contact us with any questions.
Special Information for Visitors with Disabilities
Because our campus is situated on a hill, some students, family members and visitors may wish to take a slower-paced tour. If you use a wheelchair, please contact the admissions office at 781-736-3500 at least one week before your visit.
Students or family members who have a hearing disability are also encouraged to contact the admissions office with special requests, such as ASL interpreters, prior to visiting campus. In order to secure an interpreter, please notify the admissions office at least three weeks in advance of your visit.
