Travel Note
For our Chicagoland guests: The easiest way to get to Urbana-Champaign is a 2 1/2 hour road trip via the I-57S. Another option is the Saluki Amtrak from Chicago Union Station to downtown Champaign. For our out of state guests: Road travel via the I-94S and I-57S (from Wisconsin), or via the I-74W (from Indianapolis and eastern states) is the most convenient means of getting to Urbana-Champaign. The University of Illinois Willard airport (CMI) is about 8 miles from the city center and receives a limited number of domestic flights. If you are flying into Chicago, please let us know if we can help you set up a carpool with other guests to reach Urbana-Champaign.

While a lot of hotel brands are not doing group discounts for that weekend, rooms are still available at the hotels listed here.
