Community College Station is an MBTA station on the Orange Line, located in Charlestown, Massachusetts (a neighborhood of Boston) near the intersection of Rutherford Avenue and Austin Street. It lies underneath the ramps of Interstate 93 only a few blocks north of its entrance to the Big Dig via the Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge.
It is named for the nearby Bunker Hill Community College. Due to the large number of highway ramps in the area, this is the main population the station serves. This station is also approximately ½ a mile from the Cambridgeside Galleria Mall in East Cambridge. Although Lechmere Station is closer, this station is more convenient for Orange Line customers where all they have to do is walk across the John F Gilmore bridge from Charlestown to Cambridge.
