O'Hare Airport to the Department: By far the easiest method is the elevated train, or EL in Chicago. Take the train just opposite terminal 3, the Blue Line, and exit at Uof I-Halstead, and you will be in front of the University. Then you can follow the map below.

From Midway Airport it is equally easy. Take the Orange line, and exit at the Clark st. station, where you can transfer to the Blue line. You can take any of the Blue line trains that are going in the direction OPPOSITE to O'Hare Airport, and exit at the UofI-Halstead exit. There are two surface-level stations, one of them at Halstead St, and the other one on-Campus. If you take the ramp to the Halstead St station, then walk south to the SES building, where Physics is located (see the map below). If you exit at the Campus station, follow the red path in the map
