New Transfer Students

Welcome new transfer students!  We are excited for you to join our community at Brandeis.  For the 2012 spring semester, we anticipate we will be able to offer on-campus housing to some transfer students who wish to live on-campus.  Students will be housed based on their entering class year.  Due to limited space on-campus, we cannot guarantee housing at this time for transfer students.  Students entering Brandeis as sophomores may be housed in the Castle, East, North, Massell, or Rosenthal.  Students entering as juniors or seniors may be housed in Charles River, the Village, or Ziv.  Please see the quads section of our website for more information about the different quads.

Transfer students who wish to request on-campus housing must complete the New Transfer Student Housing Application.  Please submit the application by December 10 for priority.  Applications will be accepted until the start of the semester.  Students should expect to receive their housing assignment by the beginning of January.  Students may receive housing on a rolling basis, depending on available space.  Priority for on-campus housing will be given to international and out of state students.

Students who require medical, psychological, or disability accommodations should complete a Need-Based Housing Request form and submit it to Community Living by December 10.  Requests received after December 10 will still be accepted, but there may be a delay in reviewing the forms due to the volume of requests.  A Medical Provider form must also be submitted with proper documentation to either the Health Center or Psychological Counseling Center depending on the nature of the request.  Information about the need-based housing process can be found in the Need-Based Housing Request Brochure.

Students who wish to live off-campus can explore the off-campus housing section of the website.  Apartment listings in the Waltham area can be viewed in the classifieds section of my.brandeis.edu.
