Seeking Off-Campus Housing

Off-campus housing in the Waltham community surrounding Brandeis is extensive and varied. "Off-campus housing" simply refers to any housing not owned and operated by the University. Off-campus housing includes shared housing, apartments, houses, and rooms for rent.

Withdrawing From or Declining On-Campus Housing

Students with assignments for the fall have to email dcl@braneis.edu to request a cancellation. There is a $500 cancellation fee for any student who would like to move off campus, or depending on the cancellation date a portion of the room charge may be applied as a cancellation fee. The terms of the cancellation fees can be found in the Undergraduate Room & Board License Agreement. Students who receive financial aid are encouraged to meet with their financial aid advisor prior to making a housing change to determine the impact this decision may have on their award.
