=== Overview ===
 
 
First-year students usually live in one of the residence halls situated around [[South Lawn]]: [[Hartley]], [[Wallach]], [[John Jay]], [[Furnald]], or [[Carman]]. Upperclass students may also live in [[Hartley]] and [[Wallach]], which are collectively part of the [[Living and Learning Center]] (LLC), through a highly selective application process. Other upperclassmen participate in a housing lottery. Rising sophomores may also live in [[Furnald Hall]] if their lottery numbers are good enough. The other upperclassmen students can choose, in order of class seniority and a random lottery number, among [[Broadway]], [[East Campus]], [[47 Claremont]], [[Hogan]], [[McBain]], [[River]], [[Ruggles]], [[Schapiro]], [[600 W 113th St]], [[Watt]], [[Wien]], and [[Woodbridge]]. The best housing options, usually only available to seniors, are considered to be a townhouse in East Campus or a suite in Hogan. Seniors with the very best lottery numbers can get their own studio apartment in Watt.
