Residence Life

Eat. Sleep. Make Music. In the Heart of Boston. 

Incoming undergraduate students are required to live in the Residence Hall for their first four semesters at NEC, and others can join the on-campus housing waitlist or check out the many off-campus living options. 

Beyond its 250 beds, the SLPC boasts a two-level library for audio and print resources, a new dining commons, a black box opera studio, large orchestra rehearsal space with acoustics mimicking Jordan Hall, and a small ensemble room with recording studio suited to jazz and contemporary improvisation.

It's a very open warm and welcoming community. Everybody, as soon I got here, was just happy I was here and went out of their way...to make me feel at home.
