    Traveling with guests?
    This event is at capacity. Due to space constraints, unfortunately we are unable to accommodate guests in joining for the campus visit day agenda and program activities. We prioritize class observations and other activities for a select number of admitted and prospective students. 

    Additional guests are welcome to join you on the Brandeis campus and the Heller School, however. The Heller/Schneider building contains a cafe and large atrium downstairs with plenty of seating. Guests may also wish to visit the on-campus Rose Art Museum. For questions or additional suggestions, please contact us.
