Coming from the MA Turnpike

Take the Cambridge/Brighton/Allston exit and follow the ramp signs to Cambridge. After the bridge over the Charles River, turn left onto Memorial Drive. At the second light turn right onto JFK Street. You will go through a few sets of lights before coming to Harvard Square. Continue through Harvard Square (past Out of Town News on your right), but stay in the left lane. The road divides; bear left (the sign says Massachusetts Avenue/Arlington). Then stay to the right and bear right at the next divide in the road (there will be a traffic light with right arrow). You are now on Massachusetts Avenue heading north. You can try to park here; metered spaces are sometimes available. If not, turn right onto Everett Street. Follow Everett Street to the end and take a right onto Oxford Street. Find a place to park somewhere on Oxford Street and walk up to Paine Hall.

Meters are in effect until 6pm, then they're free. All metered spaces are free on Sundays.
