Hello, everyone. So, I've been looking at Brandeis University, and their courses seem really intriguing, but I'm stumped about the tuition costs. Anyone got any intel? Bonus points if you can also brief me on the general cost of living around the campus.
Sure, happy to provide some information!
For the 2024-2025 academic year, the tuition at Brandeis University is $67,000. When you factor in expenses for room and board, books and supplies, and miscellaneous fees, the total cost of attendance rises to around $87,000.
Regarding the cost of living around the university, Waltham, where Brandeis is located, is a suburb of Boston and has a higher cost of living. Rents can vary considerably depending on the type of accommodation. For instance, a single room in a shared apartment off-campus might cost around $800 to $1000 a month, while a one-bedroom apartment could go for over $1,500 monthly. Meanwhile, a meal at an inexpensive restaurant could cost around $15, but if you're cooking at home, a week's worth of groceries may hover between $50 and $70.
Of course, remember that Brandeis, like most universities, offers numerous financial aid options. To accurately gauge how much you would personally pay, you may want to use Brandeis University's net price calculator, which accounts for potential grants and scholarships.
Keep in mind these are all rough estimates and costs can fluctuate. The costs of living off-campus, in particular, can vary greatly based on a variety of factors. It’s always a good idea to do your own research too. Hope this helps!
