Trinity’s Campus is Just 25 Miles North of Chicago and 20 Minutes from O’Hare Intl. Airport! Did you know that The Art Institute of Chicago was named the #3 museum in the world? Or that Chicago, home to the iconic Restaurant Row with more than 5000 restaurants (22 of which are Michelin-starred), was recently dubbed America’s Best Restaurant City? Or that there are close to 57 Fortune 1000 companies, over 50,000 nonprofit organizations, 54 museums, 6 major league sports teams, 200 theatrical sites, thousands of churches, and over a hundred different languages spoken nearby!
Opportunities exist up and down the bustling streets and busy byways of Chicago to enjoy the artistic and cultural delights of the city, which is only a 40-minute drive from the campus. Street food festivals occur every weekend downtown during the warmer months culminating in one of the premier outdoor food events in the country, the Taste of Chicago in July. Additionally, Chicago has some of the most popular beaches on Lake Michigan. Visitors splash in the surf or soak in the sunshine along with sandy lakefront hangouts like Oak St. Beach and North Avenue Beach, among others. They also attend theatrical shows, listen to world-class concerts, or cheer at Chicago sporting events. Just take a peek here to learn more!
