Logistics for vagantes 2024

Getting to campus:

• From O’Hare airport:
  • The quickest route involves taking a taxi/Lyft/Uber to campus. However, this may cost between $40-$70 depending on timing. 
  • You can also take the bus: the Pulse Dempster Line will take you from O’Hare to downtown Evanston (a ~15 minute walk to campus from the Davis St bus stop)

• From Midway Airport:
  • Midway is further from campus than O’Hare, and again, a taxi/Lyft/Uber will be the most efficient route.
  • You can also take the orange train line into Chicago, then catch more trains (red to purple lines) north to Evanston.
