One of the top-ranked universities in the country, Brandeis is an important contributor to the world-class academic community surrounding Boston. The institution is known for its liberal arts focus, and US News and World Report has named the Heller School as one of the top ten policy schools in the country. The Rose Art Museum on campus hosts one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary art in the area, making it a popular attraction for the campus crowd as well as the general public.
Most of the area surrounding the Brandeis campus is composed of residential neighborhoods, and there are countless rentals available nearby in a variety of price ranges. You’ll find the most apartments, condos, and houses east of the university, including across the river in Waltham’s South Side neighborhood. Living in this area will put you near the popular Moody Street, a major commercial corridor for the city lined with terrific restaurants, coffeehouses, and bars.
Downtown Boston is also close by, and with MBTA service available from the south end of campus, it’s easy to explore the region at your leisure without the use of a personal vehicle.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
