At the top of the ramp, take a right onto Massachusetts Avenue. As you cross the river, you will be looking at MIT. The Great Dome and academic facilities will be on the right, and the dormitories and athletic facilities on the left.

• From any T accessible location, take the Red Line - Alewife direction if coming from Boston, Ashmont or Braintree if coming from Cambridge or Somerville to the Kendall Square stop. The T has four lines: the Red, Blue, Orange, and Green Lines. Thus, if you are not located near the Red line you can take the Green line and transfer at Park Street or the Orange line and transfer at Downtown Crossing. To get to Sloan once above ground (you'll be on Main Street), head for the nearby Fleet Bank on the corner of Wadsworth Street. Walk half a block down Wadsworth toward the river, then cross the street to a wide flight of stone steps and the Sloan Plaza. The Hermann Building (which houses the Sloan library and faculty offices; also known as E53) is straight ahead, and the main Sloan building (E52) is on your right.
• From the airport, take the free shuttle bus from your terminal to the Airport T station, which is on the Blue Line. Take an Inbound train to Government Center. Walk up one flight of stairs to the Green Line and take a Westbound trolley one stop to Park Street. Walk down one flight to the Red Line and take an Alewife train to Kendall (the second stop). During rush hours the entire trip could take about 30 minutes. During off-hours it could take an hour.
• The fare on T trains and trolleys is $1.25, with free transfers between lines (as long as you don't pass through a turnstile). On buses, the fare is $.90.

• To find a place to park, turn left at the Vassar Street light just before the main entrance to MIT. Follow Vassar Street for a few blocks to Kendall Square, where several commercial lots are located. You can also turn right onto Memorial Drive from Massachusetts Avenue. Take the first U-turn to travel east on Memorial Drive. The main Sloan building (E52), 50 Memorial Drive, will be on your left.
