<p>is there any transportation between the UIUC airport and UIUC campus? because i think i might fly there for the summer registration, but i have absolutely no idea about how to get to the campus from the airport. and are there any cheap hotels i can rent for a night that are close to the campus and have good transportations?
thanks</p>

<p>There is a bus (27 air bus) that runs every so often between campus and the airport. </p>

<p>In my experience, flights to CMI are very expensive. Chicago is probably a lot cheaper and you can take a bus down to Urbana from O’Hare or Midway (but it will take 3-4 hours). You can also try BMI, which also has a bus to UIUC I think (check the LEX express website).</p>

<p>what about hotels? do i have to live in Illini Union? are there transportations between other hotels and campus?</p>

<p>No idea, sorry. Check out hotels in the area, call them to ask if they are on any CUMTD bus routes (or just check their addresses vs the route map at <a href=“http://www.cumtd.com/[/url]”>http://www.cumtd.com/&lt;/a&gt; ). There are certainly at least several hotels served by buses, but I don’t know exactly which ones and which routes.</p>

<p>If you’re an out of state student and thinking of flying all the way there just for orientation, talk to your advisor. When I started at UIUC in aviation, my advisor just told me I could skip registration since I live in CA. I told her what classes to sign me up for and she added them. There is also a registration week the week before school starts for internationals that you could try to get into, but you get last pick on classes, so talk to your advisor first.</p>

<p>do they have bus transportation on sunday?</p>

<p>Yes, but the schedules are different. The schedules are on the CUMTD website.</p>

<p>Taxis in town shoud be cheap too, if you really need it. Compared to the hotel & airfare at least…</p>
