FINDING YOUR WAY: LOCALLY

Personal vehicles
Gordon College permits students to register personal vehicles on campus. Parking areas are designated for student parking, day-only parking, and overnight/long-term parking. Many Gordon College students share rides with roommates and friends and, during college break periods, with other Gordon students (rideshares are posted internally in daily Student News listings accessible to students).

If any current student is not able to arrange their own ride or to make use of these listed local transport resources, cannot afford the costs, or encounters a travel emergency, they should contact their Resident Director.

Students with disabilities: if your needs require special accommodation, please contact the Office of Student Life at 978.867.4263.

If it is a real personal EMERGENCY, students can contact Gordon Police 24 hours a day at: 978.867.4444 (business line) or 978.867.3333 (EMERGENCY line). 

Other private agency transportation options are listed below.

Gordon College does not make any representation or association by posting these services or connections. We do not benefit from student use of these services. Your travel plans and safety, and your contact with service staff, is at your own risk. Please exercise good judgment in doing personal business wherever you go in life. We always recommend travelling with a buddy, and letting someone know your travel plans and when you expect to return to campus.

This is a list of some local private transport services offered in the area. Consider making your plans with the option to organize rides with other students in order to keep your costs at a minimum. Some of the ones listed provide the lowest local price (mention Gordon College), will accept payment from a distance (credit card in advance), and will allow students to share rides with other students (buddy-up). There are a few local taxi services listed in and around the town of Beverly.
