Automobile: Students should be aware
of the issues and problems of bringing a private vehicle to Woods
Hole for the AQUAVET Program. Parking is at a premium on the
Marine Biological Laboratory
(MBL). Your automobile will likely be provided a permit that
will allow parking only in one of the satellite parking lots.
You are strongly encouraged to heed the information provided
in your AQUAVET Notebook that will be mailed to you in the spring,before
the course. If you do drive to Woods Hole, detailed instructions
are provided in your AQUAVET Notebook. Commercial Air: For those traveling by
commercial air, you are encouraged to fly through Logan
Airport in Boston, MA. The Peter
Pan Bus Line provides a number of daily scheduled services
from Boston to Woods Hole.
The bus does stop at the terminal at Logan Airport and can provide
transportation to Woods Hole, arriving at the Woods Hole Ferry
Dock. This is a short walk to the Swope Center on the MBL campus.
This mode of transportation is a very convenient method, particularly
for students traveling a considerable distance. Trip time from
Logan Airport to Woods Hole is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes,
depending on traffic. Amtrak: We have not had a great
deal of experience with students traveling by Amtrak.
However, there is Amtrak service to Boston. From the Boston Amtrak
Station (South Station) the Bonanza Bus can provide transportation
to Woods Hole. The South Station bus stop is actually the very
next stop the bus makes after the Logan Airport stop. From the
Amtrak Station the bus travels to Cape Cod and Woods Hole, making
a few stops along the way. As with students departing from the
airport, you will arrive in Woods Hole at the Woods Hole Ferry
Dock. Students should plan their travel arrangements so that they arrive in time to attend the Orientation Meeting for the AQUAVET Program that will be held at 3:00 PM on Sunday 17 May 2009. This may require that you arrange to travel to Woods Hole on Saturday 16 May 2009. Attending the Orientation Meeting at 3 pm on Sunday 17 May 2009 is extremely important and students should make their travel plans accordingly. If you must arrive earlier than Sunday 17 May (or need to stay an addional day at the end of the Program), you must contact the Director of AQUAVET as soon as this need is known. Housing at the Marine Biological Laboratory is often full, so securing additional housing is something that requires your immediate attention. It may be necessary for you to secure housing at a local motel. You should discuss any additional housing needs and issues regarding payment for that housing with the Director of AQUAVET. Your course notebook (to be
sent to students accepted to attend AQUAVET 2009) will provide
a great deal of information regarding all aspects of the 2009
AQUAVET Program. Have a safe trip and we look forward to seeing you in Woods Hole for AQUAVET 2009.  |
