    I have forwarded your question to the conference co-chairs. In the
    meantime, here is my input. 

    The university _is_ more than an hour away from downtown Chicago. 65
    miles west. You can drive there, it is not an unpleasant drive. Or
    you can take an Amtrack train out to Dekalb and then a bus or cab to
    the university from the train station. 

    If I were doing it, I think I would look into staying at the
    university's hotel.
