Traveling to Campus
The University provides detailed instructions on getting to campus by plane, train, bus and car.
If flying to campus, we recommend a flight to Willard Airport CMI (aka University of Illinois Willard Airport).
Flights may also be arranged to Chicago airport (either Midway or O'Hare). Buses through Peoria Charter can then complete the journey to campus. These buses run routes from both airports directly to the University of Illinois.
