University Residential Communities offers a full range of amenities: 24-hour concierge, health club, swimming pool, library and media room, on-site medical services, garage parking, and granite countertops.

But what sets it apart is intangible: that sense of community it can take a lifetime to build. Fortunately, for those who have been affiliated with MIT, Harvard and MGH, there is already common ground.

URC makes it possible to extend your connections and bring them home. In the long run, URC will be the creation of its residents. The facilities include a private dining club, a library and a media room, but the programs and events could be anything. Just imagine what you could learn from your neighbors.
