Lesley University

Lesley University (Prelims)

GPS Address:  1815 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140

Take the T (subway) to Porter Square, one stop further outbound from Harvard Square. As you exit the T station, turn left and walk along Massachusetts Avenue.  Walk ½ block to the entrance to Lesley University - University Hall; there’s a mini shopping mall on the first floor.

Elevator: only one (1) elevator is available at Lesley University (near security desk on main floor), and it can get overwhelmed, but there is a large staircase and directional signs on the second level for accessing the 3rd and 4th floors.

Parking (paid) is available behind Univ. Hall, off Roseland Ave.

2025 NOTE: Several of the Porter Square T (subway) station's up-escalators are out. Staff will direct people to the commuter rail stairs to get to the surface. PLEASE reserve ELEVATOR usage to individuals who physically/visually need it; otherwise, it will take forever.

Scroll toward bottom for WIFI instructions.
