As Idio recommended, consider a bus ticket, or cheap airfare. Once you arrive in Boston, you can take the redline of the “T” subway to Harvard Square for $1.75 or so. You will walk up the stairs and be directly across the street from Harvard.

For admitted students weekend they encourage you to bring a sleeping bag, as visitors sleep on the floor or futons of hosting undergrads. You will check in at the visiting students hall, drop off your luggage and slp.bag, receive a packet with itinerary, food coupons for the dining hall, and the name of your hosting student and their location, and a schedule of events. You won’t need to spend anything for the weekend, you will be well fed.

You will be so busy you will not really want a parent with you. Events are scheduled from early morning till late at night. Good luck.
