Currier FAQs

Where can I park my car?

Cars are not recommended for on-campus students. Most students use bikes or scooters to get around fast and the shuttle picks up at Currier's main entrance in the Quad roadway. The City of Cambridge does not provide resident parking permits to on campus college students. If you’d like to obtain parking through Harvard, you should contact the parking office. https://www.transportation.harvard.edu/parking/students-tenants
