Due to new constructions at the University, it is necessary to reroute the cars to reach Colonial Quad. Just follow the map below, and you should have no problem.
If you are coming from Boston, about 40 miles before Albany on 90 West, you will pay a toll. After this toll you will see, exits B3, B2 and B1. Take exit B1 to continue on 90 West, pay a toll again. The 90 West will continue toward Buffalo through downdown Albany. In the Heavens you will get a glimpse of the spectacular Rockefeller Plaza penetrating the skys in a serene sun dance; continue along the busy highway, pregnant with plastic sounds and signs, the fried chickens and Big Macs, until you see exit 2 (Fuller Road and the University exit) on your right side. Take this exit, and at the end of this exit, on Fuller Road, take a left turn and drive for a minute or so. You will be at the intersection between Washington Avenue and Fuller Road. Take a left turn, and you are on Wahington Ave; at the second traffic light after the turn, take a right and follow circle toward the flag poles. The circle road will become part of stone pavement (diagram).Drive over the stone pave ment and immediately you will see on the right a narrow road entrance, take a right and follow to Colonial Quad.
From Buffalo take 90 East and you are in Albany in 5 hrs. At Albany take exit 24, immediately you will see the signs for the University and 90 East, follow 90 East and take exit 2: at the end of the exit you will be facing the Colonial Quad and the evocative architecture of the University. Now take a right and at the first traffic light, take another right and follow the circle toward the flag poles. Rest of the directions, same as above.
From New York, interstate 87 will deposit you at exit 24 and from there follow the above instructions. From Montreal, when you reach Albany, follow 90 East (exit 1E and stay right) and you will be at exit 2 described above within minutes.
If you are staying in a motel note (diagram above) that Marriott Courtyard, Extendedstay America, the Howard Johnson, and Faitfield Inn are on Washington Avenue.
