International students at Brandeis University can rent off-campus housing once they meet the off-campus requirements. For undergraduate students, freshmen are generally required to live on campus, so once that requirement is met you can begin your off-campus search. Graduate students have more flexibility and can search for housing in nearby Brandeis neighborhoods east and south. Refer to the previous section mentioning what neighborhoods students tend to search in when researching apartments.

If you're coming to Waltham from another country, it's a good idea to start your housing search early. Look for apartments close to campus or near reliable transportation, compare roommate options, and make sure you understand what documents and financial information a landlord requires before signing a lease.
