Parking & Directions

Parking

Boston College is located in the Chestnut Hill neighborhood of Newton, Massachusetts. Our campus is approximately six miles west of downtown Boston. Therefore, it is important that you put the correct town and/or zip code when you are entering our address into GPS navigation or Google Maps.

Once you have parked, please remember to take your parking ticket with you so that a member of our staff can validate your parking ticket.

Public Transportation

Visitors can use the MBTA subway system (known in Boston as the "T") to easily access campus. Traveling outbound from the center of Boston, take the B train on the MBTA Green Line. Boston College is the final stop on the B train.

Once you exit the T, cross to the other side of Commonwealth Avenue and walk uphill to the right. There you will find the Main Gate on your left. Enter campus and walk down Linden Lane. Continue to Gasson Hall (the tower building) straight ahead.
