Ruggles

Ruggles was converted to a residence hall from a New York apartment building in 1964. Each of the suites in Ruggles were recently renovated (the North side in 2007 and the South side in 2008), which included updates to the bathrooms and kitchens to maximize space and make the suites more functional. In addition, new flooring was installed to freshen up the spaces and make them more allergen-free.

Ruggles' location near Amsterdam Avenue gives students quick access to John Jay Dining Hall and all of the restaurants and shops along Amsterdam. This eight-story, suite-style building is one of the only residence halls on campus where many sophomores are able to live within a suite. The street address for Ruggles Hall is 508 W. 114^th Street.

Each suite contains one or more private bathrooms and a kitchen with a refrigerator, sink, and stove, with a limited common area.

Room Selection Notes

The large single rooms that comprise about one-third of the building are split between juniors and seniors, with sophomores filling up the remainder of Ruggles.

What Students Say
