A Vibrant Campus

The Brandeis campus is abuzz most days and evenings with performances, film screenings, guest speakers, sporting events, club meetings, and other activities. You'll also want to check out the Rose Art Museum, our world-class museum of contemporary and modern art. And if you're up for a short walk or drive during your lunch hour, the city of Waltham is teeming with shops and restaurants.
