Assist Incoming Graduate Students
Every fall, we have a new cohort of graduate students coming to us from all around the world. To help assist with this exciting, and stressful transition, we are asking our Brandeis community for additional support through our Give to Grads and Temporary Housing Host programs.
About the Office of Graduate Student Affairs
Among other services, the Office of Graduate Student Affairs provides resources and assists all graduate students to secure off-campus housing. With the help of our office, more than 95% of graduate students are able to secure a yearly lease that starts Sept. 1 or earlier.

In preparation for the fall semester, the Office of Graduate Student Affairs is coordinating a Give to Grads donation program, encouraging our Brandeis community members to donate any household items that will help incoming graduate students fill their new apartments. These items may include small appliances, miscellaneous kitchen items and other smaller items found around the home. Clothing is not accepted. If interested, please bring any donations to Kutz 102 prior to Aug. 23.
The Office of Graduate Student Affairs is seeking community members interested in assisting incoming graduate students with a need for temporary housing between mid-August and Sept. 1.
As we near the fall 2019 semester, graduate students arrive from across the country and around the world. Many of these students have already secured housing, but for some, finding a home is the first thing they need to do, and they need a temporary place to stay during this search. Finding temporary accommodations can be very difficult and/or expensive for our incoming students. Some students arrive needing a place to stay for only a night or two, and some need a bit longer.
Please complete the form below if you are interested in helping. We will then contact you should we identify a student who is a good match for what you can offer. Your information will remain confidential and only released based upon your explicit consent after we contact you regarding a potential match.
This is nonbinding and only adds your name to the list. You have the option to change your mind at any point.
