How do I get to Notre Dame?
Notre Dame is located in South Bend, Indiana. South Bend has a small airport with a few direct flights. We usually fly into one of Chicago's airports (O'Hare or Midway) and drive ~2 hours to South Bend. You could also fly into Indianapolis which ~2.5 hour drive from South Bend. Alternatively, if you want to spend some time in Chicago, you can take the South Shore Train that leaves from Millennium Station in downtown Chicago (by The Bean). The train will drop you off at the South Bend airport, a short uber ride away from our hotel blocks. UPDATE 4/16: The South Shore train is undergoing maintenance, so riders will have to detrain at the Gary Metro to board busses, and then re-board the train. Despite the detour, the train is still supposed to arrive at the scheduled time.
