Housing - Northside & Downtown |
| |
We provide housing for your group in two distinct areas of the city. Both are close to public transportation. |
| |
 Northside, Dorm-style rooms (some singles available for the group leaders), meeting areas and lots of restaurants nearby make this an appealing location. Most of our LearnChicago groups requiring housing choose this option because of its neighborhood location, proximity to markets, shops and entertainment.
|
| |
Downtown, South Loop at a youth hostel. Dorm style rooms. |

Our staff will help you determine the location best suited for your group's program. |
