From the Airport

While there is public transportation from the airport to Tufts in Medford, we recommend that you take a cab. However, if you want to take public transportation: Take the airport shuttle bus from your terminal to the "T" station. Take the Blue line inbound to Government Center. Switch to the Green line inbound to Park Street. Switch to the Red line outbound to Davis. Davis Square is about a mile from Tufts. Taxi and bus service are available. See "Public Transportation" directions below if you are walking.

From the North

Take 93 South to EXIT 31 (Route 16 East/Revere). At the end of the ramp stay right, cross over two lanes and follow the sign pointing to Mystic Ave/Somerville/ Route 28/38. At the LIGHT ( 100 feet ahead) go STRAIGHT onto Harvard St.. Travel down Harvard St. 6/10 mile (past two traffic lights) and look for CATALDO'S TOWING on the left and a yellow fire hydrant on the right. Immediately after the hydrant, turn RIGHT onto an unmarked street directly before the Science and Technology Building. Follow the building around and park in the rear lot. If you go under an underpass, you have gone too far. You will have to walk to the front entrance to get in.

From the South

Take 93 North to EXIT 29 (Somerville/Everett/McGrath Highway/Routes 28/38). This is the first exit after Route 1. Look for the sign NORTH/93-38/LAWRENCE and follow the road under the highway. Bear to the right under the highway and you will be on Route 38 (Mystic Ave). Follow this 1.1 MILE TO THE FOURTH LIGHT at the intersection of Mystic Ave. and Harvard St.. Turn LEFT. Travel down Harvard St. 6/10 mile (past two traffic lights) and look for CATALDO'S TOWING on the left and a yellow fire hydrant on the right. Immediately after the hydrant, turn RIGHT onto an unmarked street directly before the Science and Technology Building. Follow the building around and park in the rear lot. If you go under an underpass, you have gone too far. You will have to walk to the front entrance to get in.

On the "T"

Take the Red line to the Davis Square stop. Walk down College Ave. about 3/4 of a mile until you get to Powderhouse Circle. Go straight across the circle and continue on Warner St. (a sign says "to Rte. 93"). Walk about 3 blocks to the light at Boston Ave. Cross the street, go under the bridge to the first street and go left. Walk around the building to the front entrance.
