...group of students will focus on Allston this semester. For them, understanding Harvard’s presence in the area and how it interacts with the community—the future site of University’s new more than 200-acre campus—isn’t a casual interest: their grade depends upon...
...essential, however, that Allston becomes home to more than the athletes, actors, pre-meds, and residents sent there in the House lottery. Holding classes in Allston will give students a reason to go to the Allston campus on a regular basis, and will make the location of the proposed student center, across the Larz-Andersen Bridge, a central locale—which is critical to the student center’s success...

The current seven minutes between classes is barely sufficient for students to walk across the Yard, let alone from one side of the river to the other. For this reason, the current plan is for morning classes to remain near Harvard Yard, while some afternoon sections, labs, and seminars would be held in the Allston facilities. In the afternoon, students are more likely to have more time to get to their classes and to already be nearer the Allston campus, either in the Allston Houses, student center...
Convenient transportation will be essential to making classes in Allston feasible. As we have argued before, the shuttles between Allston, the river Houses, and the Yard need to be frequent, fast, stop in convenient locations, and run all day long. These shuttles will serve a dual role: connecting Allston Houses to the Cambridge campus and connecting undergraduates in Cambridge to the Allston campus to get students to their afternoon sections, seminars, and labs that are being planned in Allston. If transportationin either direction—by shuttle, foot, or bike—is inconvenient, the Allston campus will suffer...
...Allston expansion to be a success for undergraduates, students need to be able to fully take advantage of the Allston campus. Provided that transportation is convenient, holding afternoon sections, seminars, and labs in Allston, will bring undergraduates to Allston, allowing them to take advantage of the University’s investment and critically integrating the two campuses...
