How to get to Tufts University

Subway or Boston
If you are coming by subway, or "T", take the Red Line to the Davis Square Station. Exit the Davis Square Station on the College Avenue side. From here you may take the #94 or #96 bus or walk 15-20 minutes along College Avenue to the Tufts campus. If you board the bus, ask the driver to stop across from the Memorial Steps at Tufts University, just before the intersection of College and Boston Avenues. If you walk, turn right out of the subway station and follow College Avenue around a traffic circle. The Tufts Campus will be on your left. 

You may also take the free Tufts shuttle to the Olin Center. It leaves from a stop across from the Somerville Theater. The Tufts shuttle stop is marked with a sign. Here is the Saturday schedule:

Note: Ask the driver to stop at the Olin Center.

Continue on Route 16 for approximately one and a quarter miles. An athletic field will appear on your right.
