Getting to Milwaukee
We recommend flying into Milwaukee’s General Mitchell Airport (MKE), or to either Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) or Midway Airport (MDW). From Chicago you can rent a car, catch the Airport Express bus run by Coach USA, or take the Amtrak train. The train does not run directly from Chicago airports, but you can catch it in downtown Chicago.
A fairly good resource for travel to and around MKE without a car can be found here. If you are driving, there is parking available on campus. For more information, please consult this UWM Parking and Transit website.
Lodging
We have set aside a block of rooms at the Courtyard Milwaukee Downtown. Located just a few miles southwest of the UWM campus, the hotel is close to several restaurants and bars as well many local attractions. They have given us special room rates of $90 plus tax per night. Please note that breakfast is not included in this rate. Rooms may be reserved by calling the hotel at 1-800-228-9290. Reference the UWM C21 Room Block or code UWC at the Courtyard by Marriott Milwaukee Downtown to make their reservations at the group discounted rate. You can also reserve your room online through this dedicated link.
Please reserve rooms by April 13 to ensure this rate. The hotel’s address: 300 W Michigan St | Milwaukee, WI | 53203.
