Perhaps the easiest way to get to campus is via the Metro transit system: Take the Green Line to the College Park Metro Station, the second to last stop on the green line towards Greenbelt. Exit and find the bus stop for the University of Maryland Shuttle. The shuttle is free and runs about every 10 minutes. The shuttle will stop across the street from the Stamp Student Union. Cross the street towards the student union and head to your right (the sidewalk goes downhill) and you will see the Biology-Psychology building to your left. There are picnic tables and benches in front of it. Enter the doorway on the far right-hand side of the building, and go through the double doors directly on your right. Veer left and head down the hall. You will find the elevators on your right. Take the elevator up to floor 3. Exit to your right out of the elevator and head down the hall. CAIP is located to your left in Room 3144. There is a sign that says Comprehensive Assessment and Intervention Program (CAIP) to the left of the door. Directions by Metro Bus System The best resource for directions to the campus by metrobus can be found on the DC metro website. There you will find a tool you can use for directions called Trip Planner: http://www.wmata.com/rider_tools/tripplanner/tripplanner_form_solo.cfm To get the best results, you should enter University of Maryland into the "Travel to Location" field and your own street address into the "Travel from Location" field. Bus 17 and F6 travel from College Park Metro Station to the University (stop at Campus Drive & Library Lane). Upon exiting the bus, you will want to turn right towards Library Lane and walk in the direction towards Adele Stamp Student Union located on your left. Continue walking down the hill and our building will be in the a few 100 feet to your left in Hornbake Plaza. Our building faces Campus Drive and clearly reads "BIOLOGY-PSYCHOLOGY" in the front.  Directions to our lab once you are in the building Parking There are a variety of parking lots and garages available, but you will have to pay to use them. If your appointment is before 4:00 PM, we recommend using the Union Lane Garage located between the Stamp Student Union and Cole Fieldhouse (off of Campus Drive), as it is close to the Biology-Psychology Building. Current rates at this facility are $3.00 per hour. If your appointment is after 4:00 PM, we recommend using the Regents Parking Garage located on the corner of Regents Drive and Stadium Drive, as there is no parking fee after 4:00 PM here.

Once you have exited the parking garage, proceed up the stairs and keep walking up the path in between the Biology-Psychology Building and the Plant Science Building.
