Take B express train. Change at Newkirk for Q local train Avenue H station (Avenue H and East 16 Street, a 4 block walk to college) or wait to change at Avenue J station for B6 or B11 bus (to Bedford Av at Campus Road but this will take longer than walking). (Note that subway construction service changes may necessitate that you ride past these stops, cross to the inbound tracks and ride back to the Avenue H stop during fall / winter 2009-10. Later, work on the inbound tracks will disrupt the Ave. H service when departing from the college.)

From Avenue H station walk toward and cross Ocean Avenue (not Ocean Parkway). Look for the gold bell tower behind the West Quad building.

Back ramp entrance (may be closed during construction) to James Hall is just past the field and West Quad building or continue around James Hall to the entrance on Campus Road. See maps below.

Take 2-3-4-5 trains to Brooklyn.

Make sure the train says "Flatbush" as destination--not all 2 and 5 trains go to Flatbush / Brooklyn College.

Ask anyone to point you toward the college which is one short block away, then ask for Jame Hall which is across the campus (entrance on Campus Road off Bedford Avenue or via West Quad when construction is complete). See maps below.
