Important information

  • Public Transportation

     

    If you are coming by subway, or “T,” you can travel to Tufts on the Red Line or the Green Line. 

    The E branch of the Green Line brings you closest to campus via the new Medford/Tufts stop. When exiting the station you will be located at the intersection of Boston Avenue and College Ave.  

    Alternatively, you can take the Red Line to the Davis Square station. Exit the Davis Square station on the College Avenue side. You may take the #94 or #96 bus (which both leave from the Davis Square T entrance directly across from the 7-Eleven convenience store, NOT the entrance next to the Somerville Theatre) or walk 15 minutes along College Avenue to the Tufts campus.

    • If you board the bus, you will get off at the stop titled "Boston Avenue at Tufts Garage." The bus stop is across the street from a large, seven-story parking garage.
    • If you walk, turn right out of the subway station and follow College Avenue to the Powderhouse Square traffic circle. Cross Powderhouse Circle to continue on College Avenue. As you continue on College Avenue, the Tufts Campus will be on your left. 
  • Parking

    Complimentary parking is available ONLY on Saturday, September 14, from 9 am-11 pm.

    Please follow at parking signs outside of this timeframe. 

    Please be aware that the South Hall Garage, Cohen Center Lot and Aidekman Art Gallery Lot will be closed. The best parking options on campus will be Dowling Hall and the Cousens Parking Lot.
