Directions

From Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Airport or Penn Station by cab:

Tell the cab driver to take you to the 34th and Charles Street entrance of JHU (Homewood Campus and not the Hopkins Hospital). Have the driver go through the entrance and up the hill. Have him drop you off behind the building on the left which is Eisenhower Library. Go into the library, take the stairs which are immediately on the left, and go back out of the library. You are now on the main quad. Follow the walkway to the right and go into the second building, Mergenthaler Hall. The sociology department is located on the fifth floor of this building. The cab ride from BWI Airport is about 30 minutes and the ride from Penn Station is about 5-7 minutes.

Driving from Washington, D.C. or BWI on Route 95 Northbound:

Take exit 53 onto I-395 north toward downtown Baltimore, then take the exit to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and follow the directions from Martin Luther King Junior Boulevard below.

Driving from Washington, D.C. or BWI on Baltimore-Washington Parkway (Route 295) Northbound:

Entering Baltimore, the parkway becomes Russell Street. Stay on Russell Street until (with the new M&T Bank Stadium to your right and Oriole Park at Camden Yards looming before you) you reach the right-hand exit marked Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard (look carefully for this; the signs are small). This exit will put you very briefly on a service road parallel to Russell Street. Stay to the left and take the ramp marked Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. Follow the directions (below) from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

From Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard:

Take Martin Luther King Boulevard north until it ends at Howard Street (remain in one of the middle lanes of King Boulevard to avoid a premature forced right or left turn). Turn left at Howard Street and proceed about 2 miles. One block past 29th Street, turn left at the traffic island (just before the Baltimore Museum of Art) onto Wyman Park Drive. Follow this road to the three way intersection and bear left. Turn right onto the service drive and an immediate left into the visitor lot.

From the Jones Falls Expressway (I-83) Southbound:

Take the 28th Street exit and go left on 28th Street. Turn left on North Howard Street. One block past 29th Street, turn left at the traffic island (just before the Baltimore Museum of Art) onto Wyman Park Drive. Follow this road to the three way intersection and bear left. Turn right onto the service drive and an immediate left into the visitor lot.

From I-95 (southbound) or from I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway):

Take the beltway toward Towson to exit 25. Take Charles Street south for about 7 miles (when Charles Street splits a block after Loyola College and Cold Spring Lane, take the right fork). After you cross Univerity Parkway, the Homewood campus will be on your right. Continue southbound. Take a right at the second light, which is Art Museum Drive. Just after the Baltimore Museum of Art, bear right at the traffic island onto Wyman Park Drive. Follow this road to the three way intersection and bear left. Turn right onto the service drive and an immediate left into the visitor lot.
