Accommodations & Transportation
Getting to South Bend
Flying
The closest airport to campus is South Bend International (SBN), which is approximately a 20 minute drive to campus.
Options for Travel to Campus from Within Town
- Uber/Lyft
- Cab Companies
- Limo/Car Services
Often times, flights directly into town are very expensive. Other options for getting to South Bend include:
- Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) - 2 hour drive to campus
- Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) - 2 hour drive to campus
- Indianapolis International Airport (IND) - 2.5 hour drive to campus
If flying into these cities, we recommend renting a car for the weekend as public transit into South Bend can be unpredictable and expensive (and takes a long time!). However, there are a few bus and train options available that can be found here.
Driving
If you plan on driving directly to campus, please contact Kati Schuler at kschule1@nd.edu so that she can assist you in arranging parking.
