HOUSING
Take advantage of Au Pair Weekend's partnership with Hostelling International in Boston! Just add housing to your purchase when registering for a course.
Housing is not included with registration for this course. However, as a convenience to students we offer the option of adding housing at a hostel within 20 minutes of our campus on the MBTA green line. You can add a 2-night stay (Friday & Saturday) at the hostel in a shared room with 8-20 beds, which includes a light free breakfast.
There will be a $50 administration fee for all housing refunds. Refunds only allowed up to 30 days prior to the weekend start date.

Use the MBTA Trip Planner to plan your public transportation in the Boston area. Bus 47 and 70 are the ones that travel most in this area.
Travel Between Airports & Campus
Plan for an hour on weekend travels. Keep in mind that traffic gets very congested and can cause delays up to 20-30 mins.
Traveling from the suggested HI Hostel to campus
The suggested hostel is a 15 minute drive from campus or 25 minutes using the Green “E” Line train. Make sure the subway train says “E” on it as several other letters travel on the Green line.
Campus Parking
We highly recommend taking public transportation if possible. This is a very congested part of Boston, so driving and parking may take a very long time.
If you have to drive to campus please plan on leaving at least an hour early to ensure you arrive on time. Street parking is extremely limited in this area, so parking garages are the best option.
