* Food options are mostly clustered in three places: Greektown (N of the freeway along Halsted), Taylor street (SW of campus), and University Village (S along Halsted).

* '''Public Transit''': Take the Blue Line west from the Loop; get off at the UIC-Halsted stop. Walk south.

* [https://www.uic.edu/about/visit-directions More information on visiting UIC], including (better) mass-transit directions

* If you're driving, there are several parking lots available (marked on the above map); I recommend the one south of campus (1135 Morgan). Note that no streets connect Harrison with Taylor, including Morgan, between Racine and Halsted; to reach the south lot, come up Morgan from Roosevelt.

* Circle Interchange (the confluence of I-90 and I-290 just NE of campus) construction is ongoing.

* Construction is causing traffic havoc nearby, especially near the corner of Harrison and Halsted. The Harrison bridge over I-90 doesn't currently exist. Best to avoid this area if possible.
