From the Metro (train)
Take the Red Line to the Brookland-CUA exit. After passing through the turnstiles, go towards the left side exit. At the top of the escalator you will see a street running parallel to the train. That is John McCormack Road (JMR). Cross it and walk up the street that dead ends into JMR. It goes up a mild hill. It is surrounded on the left and right by light-colored brick buildings that look like they were built in the 1960's. The one on the left is Gowan Hall (Nursing). The one on the right is Pangborn (Engineering). Continue up the hill on the Pangborn side of the street and pass Pangborn. You'll see a small stop sign. Turn right and walk past the side of Pangborn (which is on your right) and pass another building (on your left). That is the architecture building (Crough). Continue walking past Crough. Past it is a very new building, brick and glass. That is the Pryzbyla Center (pronounced priz-bill-uh...but we call it "the Pryz"). If you get lost at any point on campus, ask to be directed to the Pryz. As you near the Pryz, you'll see a grassy area and a newish looking building to your right. That is the law school. Proceed to the middle of the Pryz, where on your left you'll see a main entrance: enter there. After going through two sets of doors, proceed towards the right. Shortly you'll see an elevator.Take the elevator to the second floor. Exit and go to your right, Career Services is at the far end of the hall on the left. (Room 202)

About half-way through the driveway, as it starts curving left, turn at a slight angle to the right and then left so you are proceeding along the Shrine's right side. On your right will be a big grassy mall. At the end of the mall area is a stop sign, and on your right will be a large, traditional lloking administrative building named McMahon Hall. The parking lot you'll be heading into is directly behind McMahon. Continue past McMahon and bear slightly right around a small circle. Then turn right towards the parking lot at the rear of McMahon. Park as close to McMahon as you can, for your convenience. You can park in the spaces marked for faculty and staff or those unmarked. Do not, however, park in reserved spaces. Display the guest parking permit in your windshield. Past the vack of McMahon, to its east, is the building in which Career Services is located. It is named Pryzbyla Center (pronounced "priz-bill-ih"...but we call it the Pryz). It is to the left of McMahon and to the right and slighly behind Hannan Hall. After parking, walk down the walkway into the Pryz's main floor. Proceed straight ahead past the large stairway and turn left.
