Close proximity by air, rail, bus, or car to Chicago and ready access to major cities on both coasts through daily flights to and from the University's Willard Airport make it possible to maintain the close contact with major cultural centers that is essential to the intellectual life of an international university.
The University is a residential campus of classrooms, laboratories, libraries, residence halls, and recreational and cultural facilities with 193 major buildings on the central campus of 785 acres. Nearby are the University's 1,650-acre Willard Airport; Robert Allerton Park, the campus's 1,768-acre nature and conference center; and 3,600 acres of agricultural land. An additional 3,700 acres of farmland elsewhere in Illinois are used by the College of Agriculture as experimental fields.
Nearly every facility on campus is accessible to the physically disabled, and the University's programs and services for the disabled have served as models worldwide.
