Traveling to campus
By Air
South Bend International Airport is about 15 minutes by car from the Notre Dame campus (flights should be booked to South Bend, Indiana -- airport code SBN). Various transportation methods are available (e.g., taxi, rental car, limo).
Visitors also can fly into Chicago then drive to Notre Dame. The University is about two hours by car from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (airport code ORD) and about 90 minutes from Midway International Airport (airport code MDW).
By Train
The South Shore Line trains run directly from the Chicago Loop (Millenium Station, at the corner of Michigan and Randolph) to South Bend International Airport (about a three-hour trip). From the airport, the Notre Dame campus is approximately a 15-minute ride by car. Various transportation methods are available (e.g., taxi, rental car, ride-hailing service).
Lodging
We have reserved a block of rooms at a hotel near campus. The booking link and additional logistics details will be shared after completing registration.
Parking on campus
If you are staying at Embassy Suites or Fairfield Inn & Suites, we strongly encourage you to leave your car parked at the hotel and walk to Stayer Center (0.5 miles, approximately a 12-minute walk).
If you drive to campus, the closest parking is in the Walsh visitor lot by the School of Architecture. Use ParkMobile, a parking application that allows visitors to use their mobile devices to pay for hourly parking instead of a centralized pay station.
