The nearest MBTA stop is:
Boston College Station
Green Line – B Branch
This is the final stop on the B line. From there, it’s a 5–7 minute walk to the event location at Corcoran Commons.
💡 Be sure to board a B branch train, as other Green Line
branches (C, D, E) do not serve this stop.
Boston College also offers a complimentary shuttle service that runs on a loop from the Reservoir T stop (D branch of the Green Line) to main campus. The shuttle picks up riders at the main entrance to the Reservoir station. Riders should then disembark at the Robsham Theater stop. Corcoran Commons is just opposite of this stop, to the left of the Robsham Theater. This map shows the full shuttle bus route. All Boston College shuttle buses are white and maroon will be marked with Boston College signage. Riders should look for buses labeled for the Commonwealth Ave. route.
