The Meredith Willson Residence Hall is located in the Samuel B. and David Rose Building, just steps away from The Juilliard School. Situated on the top 13 floors of the Rose Building, the residence hall provides accommodations for 348 students, who enjoy a unique opportunity to interact with fellow artists from around the world in a safe and supportive environment. The Rose Building, with its spectacular views of over the Hudson River as well as Broadway/Central Park, 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.

An integral part of the Office of Student Affairs, the Residence Life Office is located on the 11th floor of the residence hall. Residence Life is responsible for staffing, programming, building maintenance, and housekeeping services, and addressing disciplinary matters for students living in the residence hall. The staff strives to maintain a positive community atmosphere and is available to assist each student with their living and learning experiences at Juilliard.

The Residence Life Office serves as the primary communications and support center for hall residents. The Residence Life staff consists of two full-time live-in professional residence hall directors, three assistant residence coordi­nators (A.R.C.’s), 11 resident assistants (R.A.’s), and two community assistants (C.A.’s), who are all trained and equipped to address residents’ needs. Professional and student staffs are on call every night to assist residents and handle emergencies. The office is open from 9 a.m.-midnight Monday through Friday, and weekends from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. and 9 p.m.-midnight. Each resident student receives a residence hall handbook that provides detailed information about policies, procedures, and amenities in the residence hall.

Off Campus: New York City

Upperclass or new graduate and transfer students can opt to live off campus. However, finding an apartment in New York City can be a challenging experience. With that in mind, Student Affairs provides resources and materials to help students understand the complexities of the rental process. 

Students who live off campus can also purchase a meal plan option or a declining balance plan only. A detailed brochure is mailed to all new students in July.
