Did you know?

More than 96 percent of Brandeis' graduate population live off-campus in Waltham or in the surrounding communities.

Housing for Graduate Students

Brandeis has extremely limited space for housing graduate students on campus, and space is limited to one year. We do have many resources available for helping students find off-campus housing, either close-by within the Waltham area, or easily accessible by public transportation within the broader Boston Metro community. 

Robin Hennessey, coordinator of the Graduate Student Center,  will be able to assist you with your off-campus housing search and serve as a point person for all of your off-campus housing concerns. She is available Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a walk-in basis.
