If staying at one of the other accommodations, you can catch the city bus, or rental cars and taxis are available.

If traveling by car, to get to the university, take the Van Buren Street Exit off 1-90 (the first exit from the east and the last exit from the west). Turn right onto Broadway. At the first light, take another right onto Madison. (There is a sign that says it is the street to the university.) Staying in the left lane, go over a bridge and Madison becomes Arthur. Go past one light and take the first left turn onto Connell Avenue. As you travel to the university, you will pass all the hotels listed in the lodging section.
