...Actual Retail Price: More 3am walks through Cambridge Commons. You can still call the escort service though! Except HUCEP shuts down at 2am from Sun-Wed...so you have 30 extra minutes. So helpful...
...however, service reductions will likely take place to this service as well. We will update these changes on the Transportation Services web site once they are finalized. In addition to the evening van service, students will continue to have the option of calling the Harvard University Campus Escort Program (HUCEP) at 617-384-8237 from 10:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday nights, and 10:30 p.m. to 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday nights...

If the thought of being seen alongside a neon-vested escort sounds mortifying, ask yourself why. None of us can realistically expect to go through life in complete self-sufficiency, and refusing to consider help as an option seems foolish at best. We are lucky to attend a university that provides us with services for the times when we simply shouldn’t go it alone. But it’s up to us to accept that help, and be wise enough...
