    • PARKING



    Find­ing metered park­ing in Har­vard Square is extremely dif­fi­cult. We sug­gest using Pub­lic Park­ing. There are garages on Eliot Street directly oppo­site the school, as well as at the Charles Hotel, and on Uni­ver­sity Place. (See Map 1). Daily park­ing rates at these garages is about $20. Vis­i­tor park­ing is also avail­able for $10 from Har­vard Uni­ver­sity Park­ing Ser­vices.

    Har­vard lots are fur­ther from the school, though gen­er­ally served by free shuttles.
