Most Harvard locations are within a few minutes walk from the center of Harvard Square. Our map indicates the most common destinations, including the Admissions and Financial Aid Office.
BY CAR:
From I-90 (Massachusetts Turnpike): Get off at Cambridge
(exit 18). Turn left immediately onto Sodiers Field Road (west).
Take Harvard Square exit, bear right across Anderson Bridge, and drive
straight into harvard Square. For Byerly Hall, proceed through two
lights - the first just before the Square (and Out of Town News), the second
after passing through the Square. After the second light, get in
the left-hand lane, bearing to the far left. Upon taking a sharp
left turn at the next light, move directly to the right-most lane and follow
it onto Garden Street. The Admissions Office is across the street
on your left at 8 Garden Street, in Radcliffe Yard.
PARKING: On-street Parking is scarce in Cambridge.
There are public parking lots and garages, however, the Harvard University
Parking Office, 29 Garden street, sells day passes in University lots for
$5.
By the subway (the "T"): Take the shuttle bus
to the AIRPORT T stop (BLUE LINE). Take the BLUE LINE inbound four
stops to GOVERNMENT CENTER. Change to the GREEN LINE westbound and
go one stop to PARK STREET. Switch to the RED LINE outbound (toward
ALEWIFE), go four stops and get off at HARVARD SQUARE. The subway
ride from Logan Airport can take 45 to 60 minutes. Tokens cost 85
cents.
BY TAXI: The ride to Harvard Square takes about 20-30 minutes,
depending on traffic. Typically, the ride from Logan Airport to Harvard
Square costs about $25.
FROM SOUTH STATION (Trains and Buses):
BY SUBWAY: Take the RED LINE toward
ALEWIFE from South Station six stops to HARVARD.
TRAVELING AROUND BOSTON:
There are many ways of getting around Boston once
you arrive. Obviously, if you have a car, this method would be efficient,
but parking is difficult. for those looking for a good workout, a
nice little walk in the beautiful streets of Boston can eventually get
you from point A to point B. For those who hope to use some type
of public transportation, Boston is conveniently equipped with a subway
system courtesy of the MBTA. Individuals interested in using this
form of transportation may find it beneficial to purchase a "MBTA three-day
Boston Passport Visitor Pass" which will allow that individual an
unlimited access to all subway lines and most MBTA buses. This three-day
pass is sold at a cost $10 and will be an optional fee attached to the
registration for those delegates that are interested.
We, the District 1, will do everything possible to
ensure your stay here in Boston meets your needs. For your convenience,
maps of Harvard, MIT and other useful maps will be located on the World
Wide Web. The addresses are:
PARKING:
Metered parking is found along most downtown streets,
but finding a meter is another question. Parking in the streets of
Boston can be very difficult at times, and unless you have exceptional
"parking luck," a lengthy walk should be expected.
