How often do NU students go to Chicago?

Definitely take advantage of Northwestern’s FREE shuttle system. It’s more convenient than the El because stops are located right along Sheridan Road, literally footsteps away from some dorms. It also operates on most Saturdays from 12pm-10pm, which is great if you want to go into the city on the weekends. It takes an hour at the most to get into the city with the shuttle, but it’s so so worth it. Chicago’s a great escape if you just want to get away from college life for a while. I think that’s something that suburban schools like NU can offer and that rural/urban colleges cannot. You really get the best of both worlds.
