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.
Virtual Tour
View our campus from the comfort of your own computer. Come take a virtual walk through the Brandeis campus - complete with videos and full panoramic images.
The virtual tour can also be downloaded onto your Android smartphone or iOS Device (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad).
Lunch with a Brandeis Student
During the Fall and Spring semesters, 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. However, we will be offering sessions and tours during winter break, Feb. 20 to 24.
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.If you would like to visit campus for a tour and information session click here.
Interviews
On-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 to sign up for during the fall of their senior year.
Learn more about the interview process
During the Fall and Spring semesters, prospective students are invited to sit in on and experience first hand a multitude of university classes. We ask that all guests notify the course instructor ahead of their planned visit.
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.
