Housing Information - Commuting to School
Chicago-Kent is located in downtown Chicago at 565 West Adams
Street, between Clinton and Jefferson Streets. This places
the school one block west of Union Train Station, three blocks south of
the Ogilvie Transportation Center and three blocks west of the
Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower). Many of the buses that head downtown (to the
"Loop") end up at the train stations, so commuting to Chicago-Kent is very convenient. Multiple elevated train
("el") lines also stop within a few blocks of campus. The Chicago
Transit Authority (CTA) offers route maps, timetables, and a trip planner on their Web site at www.transitchicago.com.
All full-time
students will automatically be enrolled in the CTA's U-Pass program,
which provides unlimited rides on all CTA buses and trains during the academic year for a modest per-semester fee. For more information on the U-Pass program including current rates,
visit www.kentlaw.edu/depts/
stuservices/u-pass.htm. Unfortunately, the CTA does not allow part-time students to participate in the U-Pass program.
If you plan to drive to school, we are located approximately
two blocks east of the Kennedy and Dan Ryan expressways (I-90/94), two blocks
north of the Eisenhower expressway (I-290), and a mile west of Lake Shore
Drive. There is some metered street parking, and there are many paid parking
lots in the surrounding area. Discounted parking rates are available
at some nearby lots. See www.kentlaw.edu/depts/administration/record.html
for information on lots offering discounted rates.
