 Public Transportation

Take the MBTA Red Line to JFK/UMass Station, transfer to the free UMass shuttle bus at ground level (runs every 15 min on Saturdays). The shuttle bus will drop you right outside the Campus Center (white façade building in photo). University Hall is the adjoined red brick façade on the right-side of the photo. Alternatively, if you fancy a nice walk, University Hall is roughly 25 min from the JFK/UMass train station along Mt. Vernon St.

Please note that the Commuter Rail does not stop at JFK/UMass Station on weekends.
