Directions to BU
Getting to BU using Public Transportation
Boston has a wonderful public transportation
system (the MBTA), especially its subway system (also called the "T")
which connects BU to various Boston landmarks, as well as to Boston
Logan Airport.
Detailed directions to the BU campus using public
transportation is available from the BU Visitor Center. The
PHO building is less than 150 steps away from the "BU
Central" Subway stop on the Green
B-line of the
Boston "T" system. This is the second
stop "above ground" in the "outbound" direction (away from downtown). If
you are staying in the
BU Student Residences at 10 Buick street,
this stop would be the third stop (going in-bound, i.e. towards
downtown), about 0.7 miles east of the BU Student Residences at 10 Buick
street.
Driving Directions
For attendees who will be driving to town, and
for those who prefer to have a car in Boston (and brave Boston's traffic
and infamous drivers),
detailed directions to the BU campus are available
from the BU Visitor Center. Public parking is available
at many parking lots around the PHO building. Daily parking permits are
available at rates that range between $10-$12/day. Parking lots are
identified with "P" symbols on the
Boston University Campus Map.
Please note that parking spaces may be limited (and prices may be
higher) due to special events held on campus (and to possible Red Sox
games at the close-by Fenway park). To secure a parking space, you are
encouraged to get in early.
Internet Access (Bring your Ethernet Cable and
Wireless Gear!)
Bring your notebook and your networking gear! The
BU Student Residences at 10 Buick street are all networked for wired access
(bring a network cable along). Also, all
meeting rooms will have 802.11b wireless Internet access (through DHCP).
Also, wired 100BT access (through DHCP) will be available in an adjoining
small room. More instructions will be available on-site.
