GETTING
HERE:
Via
Public Transportation - MBTA ("The T")...
Subway
- By train, take the Red Line to the Kendall/MIT Station or
to the Central Square Station, both of which are a short
walk from the campus. The walk from Central Square takes
about 10 minutes and takes you right down Massachusetts
Avenue. The Kendall/MIT Station is on the edge of the east
end of campus.
Bus
- The #1 or Dudley bus stops at MIT on
Massachusetts Avenue and provides transportation to Central
Square and Harvard Square. The MIT stop is at a large
crosswalk with a stop light. One one side of the street are
steps leading up to large Ionic columns and the Small Dome
of MIT, on the other side of the street is the Stratton
Student Center and Kresge Oval (an open, grass-covered
area).
From
Logan Airport...
By taxi. Taxi
fare from the airport is about $15. Under normal traffic
conditions the taxi ride will take about 15 minutes.
By subway. The
subway
ride from Logan involves several transfers. From any
terminal at Logan airport, take the airport shuttle bus to
the Blue Line subway station. Take the Blue Line to the
Government Center station and go upstairs to and take the
Green Line trolley to Park Street. At the Park Street
station, go downstairs and take the Red Line subway to
Kendall/MIT (take the outbound train toward Alewife). Under
normal conditions the ride will take about one-half hour.
By car. The
drive from Logan airport can be rather nasty, depending on
traffic conditions. Take the main exit from the airport (not
the Ted Williams Tunnel) and follow the signs toward Boston
via the Sumner Tunnel. The tunnel toll is US $1. As you exit
the tunnel, turn right onto the expressway (93 North). Take
the second exit, marked 'Storrow Drive West'. Immediately
take the right fork of the road to a stoplight. Turn left,
then immediately turn right and drive over the Charles
River. The Boston Museum of Science will be on your left.
Turn left at the next stoplight onto Memorial Drive. Follow
Memorial Drive for about a half mile and MIT will be on your
right side.
From
the North (I-95 or I-93)...
If you are heading
south on I-93, follow I-93 into Boston then follow the I-93
instructions below. If you are heading south on I-95, take
the I-93 South exit then follow the instructions from I-93.
Alternatively, take the I-90 East exit from I-95 then follow
the instructions from I-90.
From
the South (I-95 or I-93)...
If you are heading
north on I-93, follow I-93 (the Southeast Expressway) into
Boston then follow the I-93 instructions below. If you are
heading north on I-95, take the I-93 North exit then follow
the instructions from I-93. Alternatively, take the I-90
East exit from I-95 then follow the instructions from I-90.
From
the West (I-90) (Mass Turnpike)...
Follow I-90 east to
the Cambridge/Brighton exit (exit 18). Following the signs
to Cambridge, cross the River Street Bridge, and continue
straight about 1 mile to Central Square. Turn right onto
Massachusetts Avenue and follow Massachusetts Avenue for
about a half mile. The main entrance to MIT will be on your
left. If you cross the river again, you have gone too far.
From
Route I-93...
From I-93, take exit
26, and follow the signs to Back Bay along Storrow Drive
West, approximately 1.5 miles, to the exit for Route 2A. The
exit will be on the left, just before the Harvard Bridge
(more appropriately called the Massachusetts Avenue Bridge).
The Charles River will be on your right. As you cross the
bridge, you will be looking at MIT - the Great Dome and
academic facilities are on the right, the dormitories and
athletic facilities are on the left.
Parking
Suggestions...
Parking in Cambridge
and Boston is generally not an enjoyable experience.
Whenever possible, park your car at the hotel at which you
are staying, and use public transportation to get to the MIT
campus. If you must drive to the campus, there are both on-
and off-street parking available, but most public parking is
not very close to the center of the MIT campus (unless you
arrive early in the morning or late in the evening).
There is unmetered
parking on Memorial
Drive (most of the spaces fill up at around 8:00 AM),
and metered parking on Massachusetts
Avenue.
There are a number of
lots at which you may park for a fee. These include a lot at
the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Vassar Street, Park
and Lock on Third Street, Kinney Systems at 4 Cambridge
Center (entrances on Ames Street and Broadway), and Kinney
Systems at Ten Cambridge Center (entrances from Broadway and
Binney Street).
