If coming via public transportation, there are many routes you can take. We recommend using Google Maps' public transport option when getting directions to find the most efficient route for you. Please be sure to check that the public transport you plan to take is available at the correct time on Saturdays, which you can do by altering the departure or arrival time.

For many students, the best way to get to campus via public transport will be via the Purple Line. The closest Purple Line stop is at Foster, after which there is a roughly 15-minute walk to Kresge. The 201 CTA Bus also reaches campus and can be boarded from Howard Station. The 201 will take you right to Kresge if you get off at the Sheridan and Emerson stop.
