Directions from downtown Chicago:
If you happen to be staying in downtown Chicago, the easiest way to get from your hotel to the DePaul University Student Center is to locate the “L” station nearest your hotel that services the Red, Brown, or Purple line. Take that train to the Fullerton “L” Station. When you get off, travel to Sheffield Ave. just a few steps west, turn left on Sheffield, and the Student Center will be ahead.
