How to find us
Come visit MIT Sloan.
The MBA Admissions Office is located on the fourth floor of Building E52, 50 Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We are open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays.
By Taxi
Your taxi driver will recognize the MIT Sloan name and our 50 Memorial Drive address. If your driver needs additional information, ask to be taken to the eastern end of the MIT campus just west of the Longfellow Bridge in Cambridge.
By Public Transportation — from any “T” transit stop
Boston's public transportation system, fondly known as the “T,” was America’s first subway and boasts a comprehensive grid of underground and surface trains, trolleys, and buses.
To find MIT Sloan, go to any subway station. Inside the station, look for the color-coded map of the subway system. We are located on the Red Line at the Kendall Square Station. MBTA website
When you exit the Kendall Square Station on Main Street, look for the bank sign at the corner of Wadsworth Street. Take a right on Wadsworth, cross the street, and walk half a block toward the Charles River, and you will reach the MIT Sloan plaza. When you walk up the steps to the plaza, the MIT Sloan library is straight ahead and the back entrance to 50 Memorial Drive is on your right.
By Public Transportation from Logan Airport
Access to MIT Sloan from Logan Airport on the “T” transit system is straightforward. Take the free airport shuttle bus from your terminal to Airport Station, which is on the Blue Line of the subway. Take an inbound Blue Line train to the Government Center stop. Walk up one flight of stairs and take a westbound Green Line trolley to the next stop, which is Park Street. Here, you can board an outbound Red Line train by walking down one flight of stairs to the Alewife platform. The Kendall Square stop is just two stops away.
By Car
You can easily find MIT Sloan on a map of Cambridge. We are beside the Charles River, between the Longfellow and Harvard Bridges. We recommend that you park your car at the nearest public (pay) lot marked on our online map, and walk to 50 Memorial Drive. Free parking is available on Memorial Drive, but please be aware that spaces are scarce during business hours, and parking regulations are strictly enforced.
If you are driving to Cambridge from the north or west, consider leaving your car in the commuter-parking garage at Alewife Station, the northernmost stop on the Red Line. Alewife Station is located on Route 2 just before you enter Cambridge — look for the round white “T” sign. The subway ride from Alewife to the Kendall Square Station is five stops and takes about 20 minutes.
If you are driving in from the south, you can leave your car in the commuter-parking garage on the Southeast Expressway in Quincy. This well-marked "T" station is one of the southernmost stops on the Red Line. The ride to Kendall from here takes about 25 minutes.

“You could talk about watershed management and conservation of energy all you want. But until you put numbers to it and financial analysis to it, you’re not going to get much done. I came to business school to speak that language, speak with people in terms of numbers, financial numbers so that I can get projects done.”
“Our mission, along with the mission of MIT Sloan, is to both develop leaders who make a difference in the world, and also to make a contribution to thinking about the topic of leadership.”

"The relationships that we forged helped us to turn out a better project. We were able to test our hypotheses with the people that we spoke with every single day. And really, I think the friendships that you develop really propel the work that you’re doing."
“We’re very interdisciplinary. Among the faculty in the group are an economist, a political scientist, a sociologist, and an industrial relations specialist. We’ve always made a big effort to be open to a variety of perspectives, but also to go beyond being open to them, to want to bring them in, because it makes for a richer environment.”
“I can honestly say that when I was planning on coming to business school I never thought that witnessing the birth of a child would be included in the education. It was definitely an experience.”
