From I-91 or I-95
Arriving in New Haven take I-91 north towards Hartford, and immediately exit on Exit 3 (Trumbull Street) into the center of New Haven. On the exit ramp stay in the middle lane, and continue straight onto Trumbull Street. At the fifth traffic light, turn right onto Prospect Street. Drive one block on Prospect St., continue straight through the first traffic light (Sachem Street), and Kroon Hall (195 Prospect Street) is the second building on the righthand side of the street. Metered parking is available on the opposite side of the street.
By Plane
Tweed New Haven Airport is 15 minutes from the Yale campus by car or taxi, Bradley International Airport is 1 hour away. La Guardia, JFK, and Newark airports are 2 hours from New Haven by train. There is also frequent limousine and shuttle service from major airports. Airport access is easier from La Guardia - take the M60 bus to Harlem-125th Street Station, and take the Metro North train to New Haven. From JFK, passengers must take subway to Grand Central Station, or take the NYC airporter shuttle to Grand Central.
By Train
Metro-North commuter trains run every hour from New York’s Grand Central Station to New Haven’s Union Station. Amtrak train service is also available from Hartford, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, NYC, and other points in the northeast, including the Newark International Airport. There is a taxi stand in front of the New Haven station, and it would be less than a 10 minute ride to campus.
