Parking is limited around the College, so the best way to get there is by public transportation. The MBTA’s Green Line ( Boston College B Train) runs right pass the College so it is an easy and convenient way to travel.

By Subway
Take a Boston College (B) train to the Blandford Street stop (the first stop above ground coming from downtown Boston & the stop after you pass Warren Towers BU Dorm coming from the west). After you get off the T, you will see the College of Communication, across the street. It is the building with the large transmission tower on top. The entrance is half a block from the T stop.

By Car

From the West
Take the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) to Exit 18 (Brighton/Cambridge). Pay toll, then follow the signs for Cambridge through the first light. Turn right at the next light, keeping the Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel on the right. Take Soldiers Field Road/Storrow Drive to the Kenmore Square exit. Turn right at the light at the end of the exit ramp. Stay to the left and continue on Commonwealth Avenue, but bear to your right as you go through Kenmore Square. You will pass the College of Communication on your left ( it has a transmission tower on the roof) and then you will need to make a u-turn to get onto the correct side of Commonwealth Avenue.

From the North
Travel South on Route 95 to Route 93. Take Exit 26 to the Leverett Connector Bridge and exit directly onto Storrow Drive westbound to the Kenmore Square Exit (left exit). Use the right-hand side of the exit ramp for Kenmore Square (see directions above from Kenmore Square exit).

From the South
Take Route 93/Route 3 North to Exit 26 (Storrow Drive/Back Bay). Go west on Storrow Drive; follow directions above to the Kenmore Square exit and the University.
