Suggestions for finding accommodation:

  • Two MBTA subway lines stop on Northeastern campus: Orange Line Ruggles Station, and Green Line E Northeastern University Station.  It will be convenient to find accommodation close to these subway lines.
  • Participants can also look for accommodation near subway Red Line, Blue Line or other Green lines, as long as it is easy to transfer to Orange Line or Green Line E.
  • The MBTA now accepts contactless payments (Apple/Google Pay, contactless credit and debit cards, etc.) on all busses and subway lines.

Commuting to campus

  • There is 4-hour metered street parking on Parker Street and near the Museum of Fine Arts.
  • We recommend taking public transit whenever possible.
