The residence hall, which houses 350 students, is situated on the top 12 floors of the Samuel B. and David Rose Building, which is adjacent to The Juilliard School. The Rose Building, with its spectacular views of the sunsets over the Hudson River, is also home to several other Lincoln Center constituents, including the Chamber Music Society, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center, Inc.

Students enter the residence floors through a securely guarded entry leading to a private bank of elevators used exclusively for the residence hall. The lobby floor of the residence hall contains a lounge area (with a large-screen television and a pool table); a community kitchen; vending machines; and a laundry room. A well-equipped fitness center is located on the 22nd floor, and a computer lab and study lounge are located on the 19th floor. The Office of Residence Life is on the 11th floor.

Each of the 11 residence floors has four furnished suites and two soundproof practice rooms, most of which contain Steinway L pianos. Each suite has five bedrooms (three doubles and two singles); two-and-a-half baths; and a common living room with a panoramic view of Lincoln Center and Manhattan or the Hudson River and the western horizon. The double rooms are equipped with two loft beds, two desks with bookshelf and study lamp attachments, two three-drawer chests with a two-shelf cabinet attachment, and a small closet for each resident. The single room is equipped with the same furnishings, except the bed is not lofted. Cable television and a campus phone are provided in each suite. Students may arrange for individual phone and Internet service in their rooms.

Three full-time administrators are responsible for the operation of the residence hall. Three upper-class resident student staff members are assistant residence coordinators who specialize in the programming and facilities aspect of residence life. In addition, a student resident assistant is assigned to each floor to answer questions and respond to concerns regarding the quality of student life. Three community assistants complete the composition of the Residence Life staff.

Roommates for first-year students are assigned by the School. Upon acceptance, students are sent a residence hall housing application and contract. The housing application asks specific questions about student interests, habits and lifestyle, and the attributes you feel are important in your future roommate. The School reviews this information carefully in order to match each student with a compatible roommate.

An effort is made to house first-time college students together. Once a roommate assignment has been made, students will be given the individual's name, address, and telephone number so that contact can be established before arrival on campus.

A meal plan is required for all students who live in the residence hall. Resident students may choose one of three meal plan options: 10, 14, or 19 meals per week. All students, resident or non-resident, have access to the Juilliard dining hall, which is conveniently located on the plaza level of the Rose building. The total cost of on-campus living includes a meal plan.

On-campus housing is not guaranteed for all four years. The room selection process for current resident students is held during the first week of May. The remaining spaces are then assigned to new students. Generally speaking, current resident students usually take most or all of the single rooms.

For those looking for off-campus housing, the Office of Residence Life maintains resources to assist students. These include apartment listings, sample lease agreements, tenant rights information, and other New York City rent regulations.
