<p>Hi,
would any Chicago residents or current U of C. students know where to get off the shuttle (the one that runs from the O'Hare Intl. Airport to the South Side) if im heading to the University (admissions office). Thanks</p>
<p>its my understanding (and i'm a fellow prospy, not a uc student) that the nearest shuttle stop is at rockefeller chapel. i could be wrong though</p>
<p>i dont know anything about the shuttle. But you can take the CTA train ( the 'el' ) which has a blue line stop at OHare. Get off at Jackson or Washington and transfer to the Red Line (you have to walk a block underground, right under downtown) and take the Red Line south to Garfield/55, and take the 55 bus East (not West!!!!) to University or so, and you can walk from there. Or you can take the green line in a similar fashion, which also has a stop on 55th street/Garfield. <a href="http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/systemmaps.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/systemmaps.html</a></p>
<p>This may be useless to you, though, if you're taking a shuttle.</p>
<p>oh, I found it actually. Rockefeler is a block from admissions</p>
<p>You could also take the blue line and then walk a few blocks to the metra</p>

<p>I know your not familiar with the area, and this will be the first of many times you will hear this:</p>
<p>Never under any circumstances ride on the Green Line.</p>
<p>Never take the green line? When I was there in the early 1980s, a much tougher era, I took the green line all the time. I lived on the north side, and worked, then went to school (MBA) at Chicago. I did not ride it after dark, but in daylight hours, it was not a bad trip, even though I was often the only anglo in a car. </p>
<p>These days, given that most of the tough south side projects are gone, I find it hard to believe that (1) the green line is worse or (2) that I was taking my life in my hands in years past.</p>
<p>Maybe someone carrying an expensive laptop or done out in club wear is prey? I dunno?</p>
<p>I too, took the green line during the '80s....and I took it after dark on a few occasions (must've had a death wish - LOL). Only found helpful people, since I was obviously lost.</p>
