537 West 121st Street

Jewish Theological Seminary dormitory at the corner of 121st St. and Broadway. Its residents include joint program upperclassmen and students from the Seminary's various graduate schools. Goldsmith is renowned among seminarians for its spacious common areas and almost complete absence of supervision. Goldsmith also exhibits a degree of striation not present in Mathilde Schechter Hall--at Schechter, rooms and suits are assigned with only superficial consideration of the residents' religious practices, while self-selected Goldsmith suits tend to be more organized along lines of religious observance.
