Frequently asked questions

When is the last day to sign up?

Since everyone is responsible for booking their own travel & hotel, you can sign up until the day of the trip, provided there is availability. We strongly encourage everyone to book their train ticket and hotel as soon as possible to guarantee your spot.

How much will the trip cost?

The total price will vary. If you share a room with someone your trip could be as little as $565 plus the cost of food. Please note, all travel must be booked individually so the sooner you book your train ticket and hotel the less expensive it may be.

What should I bring?

Pack light! We are taking the train and will be doing a lot of walking. Only bring what you can carry. It is about a half mile walk from the train station to the hotel. Pack comfortable shoes. It will be summer but downtown Chicago can get chilly so bring a light jacket.
