<p>How many minutes from downtown Chicago is Northwestern?</p>
<p>I hear 20-30</p>
<p>From what I remember.. it costs slightly more than a dollar and takes around 28 minutes?</p>
<p>On the El, it always takes me at least 40 minutes to get from NU's campus to the Chicago El stop (Michigan Ave.). If you take the inter-campus shuttle, you can get there in about 25 and it's free. (El is 1.75 each way)</p>
