You will have the opportunity to meet and work with student musicians from all over the world. We encourage everyone to approach the experience with an attitude of excitement, openness, and tolerance. Those living on campus will have access to activities designed to foster a sense of community, and to inform students about issues that may be relevant for their communities and interests. Boston and Northeastern Universities, Boston Conservatory, Fenway Park, Symphony Hall, the Museum of Fine Arts, the city's best music stores, and many other cultural, educational, and entertainment centers are all within walking distance. Close by are stops on the subway and bus lines which take you to all parts of Boston and Cambridge, from the theater district to Harvard Square.
Every room has a bed, desk, chair, and dresser for each student, and shared closet space.
All rooms are carpeted, and windows have Venetian blinds or shades. The phone system allows up to two phones in each room, so you may want to bring a touch-tone telephone as well. For those of you who would like to bring a computer, there are individual college network connections for each student in each room. Since we are in the midst of the city, where safety and security are important considerations, each Residence Hall has an access control officer on duty twenty-four hours a day. While Berklee's location in the middle of Boston is a tremendous asset, it also means that our space is limited.
