| − | Parking suggestions and directions for getting to Harvard as a whole are available on Harvard's web site.
| |
| − | | |
| − | However, if you are driving to the Boston area, your best bet is probably to park in one place (like your hotel) and use public transportation to get around while you are here. Scroll down the page for more information on available public transportation.

| − | === Getting to Harvard Square via the MBTA (aka "The T") ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | # Subway: Take the Red Line to the Harvard Square Station, which is a short walk from the campus. You can map out the building's location using its street address: 1 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA or [http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~scdiroff/Science_Center_2.jpg looking for it] from Harvard Yard.
| |
| − | # Bus: Routes #66 (Allston), #71 (Watertown), #73 (Belmont), #68 (MIT East Campus), #69 (Lechmere), #72 (North Cambridge), #74 (Belmont), #76 (Belmont), #77 (Arlington), #78 (Arlmont), #86 (Somerville), #96 (Medford), and #1 (South Boston) all go to Harvard Square.
| |

| − | === Airport Information ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The closest airport is Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). From any airport terminal, look for signs for the Silver Line T stop. The Silver Line is a subway line that is actually a bus. Take the Silver Line to the South Station stop on the Red line. From there, follow the directions for the subway to Harvard.
