How to go there?
Detailed directions to the Harvard Kennedy School as well as information about train, bus, parking and others can be found here.
Because parking is scarce near Harvard Square, the best way to travel to the Kennedy School of Government is via the "T" (Boston's subway) from Boston. The "T" costs only $1.25 per ride. The Kennedy School is a quick walk from Harvard Square Station. As you come out of the station in Harvard Square head to your left down John F. Kennedy St. and continue down the street for three blocks. The Kennedy School is on the corner of John F. Kennedy Street and Eliot Street.
