Housing and Meals

Housing

Brandeis University has a number of residence halls across and adjacent to its campus. Most international exchange students share a room or living space with one or more American or full-time undergraduate students or with other international or exchange students. All rooms include a bed, dresser and desk. Some residence halls also have common areas, shared kitchens, laundry facilities and more. Students may be in single rooms within a suite or in a double room with a roommate.

All residence halls and academic buildings have access to free wireless internet access. Students should be aware that sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, etc., are not provided in the residence halls.

Exchange students will be automatically placed into housing on campus. Please note that living in on-campus housing is mandatory for incoming exchange students. Housing assignments will be determined and given to students shortly before their arrival.
