Housing in Boston Boston is a very diverse city, and is home to a large number of colleges and universities. There are numerous cultural, historical, and recreational opportunities, including musical venues of every genre imaginable, many museums, theaters, and parks.

Whether you plan to live in Berklee's residence halls or in an off-campus apartment, you should allow yourself time to arrange housing in deciding when to apply to the college, and which semester you choose to begin your studies. The Residence Halls Berklee houses about 800 students in three residence hall buildings. Each building has a different character, ranging from large and bustling with activity to small and quieter. The residence halls are dedicated to providing a safe, convenient environment to serve as a base for students to conduct their studies and to experience Boston and the Berklee community. The general housing situation in Boston has had a profound effect on the demand for space in the residence halls.
