Hello!

You are invited to participate in our Brandeis Off Campus Cost of Living Survey. In this survey, off-campus students receiving financial aid will be asked to answer 17 questions about the general costs incurred while living off campus. It will take approximately 5-8 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.This information will help us compare how we budget for students living off campus in terms of financial aid and if those budgets are accurate.

By completing the survey you will be automatically entered to a raffle drawing for one of three Hannaford's $25 Gift Cards!

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential. If you have questions at any time about the survey or the procedures, you may contact the Office of Student Financial Services at 781-736-3700 or by email at [email protected]
