Wyss House
All HBS doctoral students share office space in Wyss Hall during the first year of the program. In this communal, collaborative environment, ideas flow freely, and students gain insight into their own research through the eyes of their peers working in other disciplines. Doctoral Programs administrative offices are located on the first floor of the building, so students always have access to support services. After their first year, doctoral students move into office spaces closer to their faculty advisors.
Residence Halls
Doctoral students have the option to live off-campus or on-campus. Some doctoral students choose to live in the campus residence halls. Doctoral students are guaranteed a room in Hamilton Hall or may enter the lottery for other buildings.
