<p>What are the bus or train options to get back and forth to and from Oberlin to Chicago? Is there a bus or train to oberlin directly? Links?</p>

<p>At the beginning and end of breaks, Wilder Lines runs a bus directly from Oberlin to Chicago: <a href=“https://www.wilderlines.com/[/url]”>https://www.wilderlines.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Otherwise, I’ve taken the Megabus from Chicago to Cleveland several times and it’s not a bad trip. I’m sure there are Amtrak options as well, either into Cleveland or Elyria. It isn’t too hard to find someone on the classifieds to pick you up at the station in and take you to Oberlin: <a href=“https://oncampus.oberlin.edu/classifieds[/url]”>https://oncampus.oberlin.edu/classifieds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>The Amtrak “Capitol Limited” train runs from Washington, D.C. to Chicago with a stop in Elyria OH, which is about 1/2 hour from Oberlin.</p>
