<h4>Coming from Willard Airport</h4>
<p>Willard Airport is located south of UIUC. If driving, head north from the airport on the 45 and turn right onto Springfield – you'll soon find yourself on UIUC campus! Alternatively, you can catch a cab or Uber from the airport, headed towards Matthews and Stoughton.</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-question">
<h4>Coming from Amtrak Station</h4>
<p>Siebel Center is located 1 mile from the Champaign Amtrak Station. Most buses will take you to campus. The 100S and 120E run every few minutes. Ride one of these buses to the intersection of Wright St and White St, then walk east on Stoughton and you will find yourself at the Siebel Center!</p>
</div>
<div class="faq-question">
<h4>Getting around Campus</h4>
<p>Most amenities are available within walking distance of the Siebel Center. However,
if walking isn't for you then Champaign-Urbana's public transit system can take you
where you need to go. Routes can be mapped using Google Maps or the CUMTD app and each
ride will cost you $1. No change is given on the buses, so bring exact fare with you!</p>
