<p>I want to reiterate that if you have a car it takes less time to drive to campus from the South Loop than from Midway, even though Midway is closer (20-25 minutes on 55th St. with a traffic light every block vs. 15-20 minutes via Lakeshore Drive and no lights until Hyde Park). You may still want to stay at Midway if it’s meaningfully cheaper, but at the same price you will prefer downtown. Driving in from the south, I’m not certain that it’s a whole lot easier to get to Midway than to get to the South Loop.</p>
