Why the Juilliard School Loves Collegeboxes
With Juilliard being right in Manhattan, move-in day can be challenging. That’s why Collegeboxes works directly with the Juilliard housing office to make sure move-in day runs as smoothly as possible. Collegeboxes coordinates the logistics, so students can start their new chapter stress free.
Preparing for Your Move
- Consider your housing options. First-time college students are required to live at the Meredith Wilson Residence Hall. If you’re permitted and want to live off-campus, start researching housing options early.
- Write down important dates such as housing application deadlines, move-in, orientation, and when classes start.
- Keep track of the move-in day information Juilliard sends you like parking instructions, unloading zones, and move-in guidance.
Packing
- Start early and stay organized with the proper packing supplies. Labeling your boxes will help you keep track of everything throughout your move.
- Focus on packing the essentials and preparing for New York’s dramatic seasons. NYC has hot, humid summers, snowy winters, and everything in between.

Housing Options
On-Campus
The Meredith Wilson Residence Hall at Juilliard is convenient and community oriented. Because of Juilliard’s compact layout, the residence hall has everything from the school’s Health and Counseling Services Clinic to a convenience store. The dorms are suite style and feature unique performing arts amenities like sound-proof practice rooms.
While first-time college students are required to live on campus during their first year, all other students can apply to live on campus. Students can purchase a meal plan whether they live on or off-campus.
Off-Campus
Since The Juilliard School is located in Manhattan, living off campus can be complicated. NYC has a high cost of living and the rental market moves quickly. That being said, Juilliard provides extensive resources for students looking to live off-campus.
