On-Campus Housing
Approximately 33% of all HLS students live in on-campus housing. There are 599 on campus dorms, and the student classification breakdown of these 599 residents is as follows:
| Student Classification | Percentage of 599 |
| 1L | 42% |
| 2L | 19% |
| 3L | 19% |
| LLM/SJD | 19% |

Living on campus has tremendous benefits:
- Close proximity to campus
- Tight-knit community
- Great way to meet HLS students from different sections, year, and programs
- 9-month lease based on academic calendar
- All utilities included
- No security deposit
- Online room selection; no need to visit Boston to house hunt
- Fully-furnished dorms and apartments
- HLS Housing is treated as a student service rather than a business
