Make the first right at the stop sign down the School of Medicine’s driveway and proceed through the gate to arrive at our building. Once through the gate, there is parking available in the front and back of our building. Additional parking can be found across from both the soccer fields, and the School of Medicine’s driveway.

Taxis are also available at the stations. Bring any luggage with you to the School of Medicine if you plan to take our shuttle to the train station directly after interview day concludes.
