Traveling to Beloit | Traveling Around Beloit | Parking on Campus

Please note!
Effective May 16, 2006 Coach USA/Van Galder Bus Company no longer stops at the Ramada Inn of South Beloit (Formerly the Holiday Inn). The bus stop has been moved to the BP Amoco Travel Plaza located at the intersection of I-90 and IL-75 (east of the interchange). All scheduled departure times have remained the same.

Traveling to Beloit

By Car

By Bus
Greyhound buses make convenient stops just off Interstate 90 on their routes from Chicago, Madison, Green Bay, and Minneapolis. The bus stop is about three miles from the College.

The Coach USA/Van Galder Bus Company provides a limousine bus service between Beloit, O'Hare Airport, Midway Airport, downtown Chicago, and Madison. At O'Hare Airport, the Coach USA/Van Galder Buses pick up passengers in both the International Terminal as well as the Bus/Shuttle Center. The bus ride between Chicago's O'Hare Airport and Beloit is approximately 70 miles and 1.5 hours. The Van Galder stop is the McDonalds/BP Amoco Travel Plaza on the east side of the IL-75 & I-90 interchange in South Beloit, Illinois, approximately 1.75 miles from campus.


By Plane
If you'll be flying to visit Beloit, we recommend using Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. From O'Hare, it's an easy 70-mile drive to Beloit on Interstate 90. There is also a very convenient bus service that runs between Beloit and O'Hare Airport. See above.

If you are flying into Madison or Milwaukee, please be aware that no regional buses go to Beloit directly from these airports and that a rental car may be required.


By Train
From the Chicago Amtrak Station, take the Coach/Van Galder Bus Service to Beloit.

Traveling Around Beloit

Reunion Shuttle
A small campus van will be looping from the reunion hotels to campus throughout the weekend. The shuttle will be available:

Friday, 10 a.m.-midnight
Saturday, 8 a.m.-midnight
Sunday, 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

The shuttle will also make stops at the Van Galder bus stop by appointment. If you wish to be picked up at the bus stop, please contact us with your arrival time and hotel destination prior to your arrival.

Please note: Because space in the shuttle is limited to 5-6 seats, we still recommend making prior arrangements if possible. Your reunion group in My Beloit is a perfect place to solicit car-sharing volunteers. A message board will also be available in Registration and Check-In to facilitate connections.
