By Amtrak (Train):
From this station, you can go one of two ways (15-20 min walks):
- Head down Queen St (the one to the right when you have your back to the station) and then take a right onto James Street (6th street you'll see). Follow this until you reach College Ave and then you'll see the campus. There should be signs/chalk on the sidewalk to guide you the rest of the way.
- Follow the flow of traffic until you dead-end. Take a left until you reach Liberty St and then take a right onto it. Follow this until you see a footbridge. Cross this and you will be behind two buildings with a third one under construction to your left. Head between that building and the building to your left. Head down College Ave (the one facing you) and look for signs/chalk on the sidewalk.
