From Commuter Rail: Take the South Acton/Fitchburg line to the Brandeis/Roberts stop ($6 if you get on at Porter or North Station and buy your ticket at the station). From Brandeis/Roberts stop you will walk up the hill on South St to the main entrance of Brandeis – this is a large circular driveway. At the guard house you will take a right and follow signs to upper campus. Keep walking up the hill and take your first left, you will see Shapiro Science Center (big, newer building with lots of windows). Take the right after the building, the entrance to the science complex will be ahead. Once in the building continue straight down the hall way, past a lecture hall and the class room (Gerstenzang 124) will be the next one on the right.
