Travel to Campus

Transportation

Boston University does not provide transportation to campus, but the University is easily accessible by taxi from Logan airport.

A taxi ride from Logan Airport to Boston University is approximately twenty minutes, with a fare of about $30. For students arriving by train or bus, South Station is about the same distance and taxi fare.

One week before programs begin, we set up a Yahoo® group account for participants in order to communicate and get to know each other. You can use the Yahoo group to arrange to meet up with other participants at the airport and share cabs to the dorm.

Boston University is also convenient to public transportation. For MBTA subway or bus maps and schedules, visit the MBTA website.
