How far is BC from downtown boston?

<p>i read somewhere on the BC site that its 6 miles from boston… they say the easiest way to get there is by the T, but there are about 20+ stops before you get to downtown boston… how long does it take, and isn’t that extremely annoying???</p>

<p>is there any other way of getting from chestnut hill to downtown besides taking a cab and the T?</p>

<p>thanks in advance!</p>

<p>6.65 Miles 15 Minutes But the MBTA is the BEST way to get around!</p>

<p>it's about 20 mins by T... I've done it a few times</p>

<p>Going by the T is actually not bad at all...ive gone up from providnece RI with my girlfriend a few times to visit. There are several stops along the way but it isnt that long or annoying, i didnt mind it at least!</p>

<p>My daughter claims that it's faster if you take the campus shuttle bus to the other T line rather than taking the T line that is right next to the campus. That's how she gets into downtown. Sorry, I don't know the letters of the lines.</p>

<p>Well, BC is on the Green Line (B train). You can take the Green all the way into Boston. It's not that bad. And Boston is worth it, I love Boston.</p>

<p>There's 3 Green Line options near BC: you can go down the Comm Ave Line that stops right on campus; go to Cleveland Circle and pick up the T that goes down Beacon (Cleveland Circle is right on the edge of campus) or walk a block over from Cleveland Circle and pick up the Riverside line. The Riverside line has the fewest stops - it's sort of like a suburban train line. The Comm Ave and Beacon trolleys stop more often - more stops and traffic lights.</p>
