What about transportation to and around the campus? The campus is centrally located in downtown Chicago and easy to get to by car and public transportation, such as buses and elevated trains (widely referred to as “the el”). The public transportation system that is most extensive is the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), and you can use it to get nearly anywhere including both Midway and O’Hare airports. The one-time, one-way cost is currently $2.25. Other public transportation systems include the Metropolitan Railway System (METRA) and the Pace Bus System, which serve the Chicago suburbs.
Communters traveling from the suburbs can take the University Train shuttle to campus from three Chicago train stations. Sheets of ten tickets and monthly shuttle tickets are available at University Services, located in Abbott Hall Room 100. Once you’re on the Chicago campus, you’ll find that walking from building to building is easy because most of them are quite close to each other. There is a free University shuttle bus service to get to the Evanston campus and the hospitals that are not on the Chicago campus. What about parking on campus? If you are interested in driving to campus, you must live outside of the boundaries of North Ave, Halsted, and Congress Pkwy. An online parking application is available for you to complete.
