Office of Housing and Auxiliary Student Services (150)
The Housing Office is responsible for the overall management of the residence
halls and student auxiliary services. This includes room reservations;
supervision of Housing Office personnel, residence hall programs and activities,
housing security, and fire safety; lockers; laundry rooms; and the front desk at
150 Massachusetts Avenue.
Off-Campus Student Services
Boston and its neighborhoods house over 75 percent of Berklee’s student
population. Off-Campus Student Services seeks to provide resources and
materials to Berklee’s non-residential students, from apartment search basics to
an off-campus housing bulletin board where students can post anything from
“Room Wanted” to “Temporary Housing for Rent.”
Living off-campus can be both exciting and a little daunting. Students can find
support in friends and in the many resources available through Off-Campus
Student Services and the City of Boston. Students living off-campus can still be
active members of the Berklee community, and Berklee encourages all students
to get involved in student activities. Keep in mind that off-campus students are
a representative part of the Berklee community and are expected to conduct
themselves as good citizens. For more information, visit

Student Resources
Office of Student Activities/Student Activities Center (939)
The Office of Student Activities fosters and sustains activities, programs, and
services that promote learning and leadership outside the classroom,
emphasizing a well-rounded student experience. The office empowers
students to take initiative, to understand and accept diverse perspectives and
leadership styles, and to work collaboratively. During orientations and other
special events, as well as by being a part of leadership and service opportunities,
and focusing on individual health and wellness, the office helps students
pursue the self-discipline needed for excellence, the empathy required of
music making, and the openness and inquisitiveness essential to creativity.
