This takes forever. I looked it up on the CTA website to make sure I was not screwing it up when I did it myself. If you leave downtown at 11 PM on a Saturday, it will take you a minimum of one hour to up to an hour and a half to get back from somewhere in the loop to Evanston.



What’s in downtown at 11PM? A lot of areas in the financial district are DEAD at night or during weekends. Rush/Division have bars but they are more touristy and not really tailored to students anyway. Areas in the north like Lakeview, Lincoln Park, New Chinatown are better areas for college students to hangout and since they are residential neighborhoods, there are more than just bars. There are more people walking around in Lakeview than downtown late at night.

Downtown is great during the day if you wanna visit museums, shop, and do sightseeing. But at night, I’d take uptown over it.
