The Miami University Student Foundation (MUSF) offers a Chicago Bus Trip Service as a convenient, economical, and safe way for students to return home to the Chicago area during official University breaks. Profits from the bus trips help support the 8 Student Scholarships that MUSF funds.
The bus will stop along the Tri-State Tollway (I-94/294/80) in the following locations: Lincoln Oasis, Hinsdale Oasis, O'Hare Oasis, Lake Forest Oasis, and Kenosha, Wisconsin (See Chicago Area Departure Information for details). Pick-up and drop-off at Miami University is on the south side of Cook Field.
