Cronkhite Graduate Center
84 Brattle Street
Cambridge, MA 02138

Cronkhite is located near the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard Graduate School of Education, Harvard Kennedy School, and close to Harvard Square. It contains 110 residence hall units housing 121 occupants on two coed floors. The majority of available units are singles sharing common baths.

Cronkhite is Harvard University Housing's most cost-effective living option because residence hall units are less expensive than apartments and contracts run only for the academic year. Please note that a meal plan is mandatory for all Cronkhite residents.
