ISSID 2009 - Evanston

Evanston, Illinois is the home of Northwestern University and is located 20 km from the center of the city of Chicago. Evanston is 20 km from O'Hare airport, 32 km from Midway airport and may be reached by public transportation or car.

The meetings will be held at the Orrington Hotel, in downtown Evanston. The Orrington is about 1 km from the Department of Psychology, and about .5 km from Lake Michigan. Rooms will be reserved at the Orrington as well as a number of nearby hotels within walking distance of the Orrington.

Travel & Visas

Getting to Chicago is very easy: O'Hare airport has non-stop flights from many European and Asian cities and most major American cities. Direct (although not non-stop) flights are also available from from Australia and New Zealand.

Getting a visa could take some time. Please start the application process early.

Weather

Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. The average high temperature in mid July in Evanston is 80F/26C. The average low is 63F/16C. However, the variance can be substantial. Because Evanston is located on the shores of Lake Michigan, the temperature is somewhat moderated from that experienced at OHare or further from the lake. Advice? Bring a bathing suit and a sweater! Check the forecast before you leave.
