  • Credo will provide daily snacks and a couple of meals. Otherwise, participants will take advantage of Chicago’s food scene. Dozens of restaurants are within easy walking distance, whether you prefer a quick and cheap bite, casual dining, or crave to explore the best of what Chicago has to offer! Maybe sometimes you'll want to grab a yogurt and fruit for breakfast – there are grocery stores nearby.

  • If you are driving to campus, we recommend that you park in the Grant Park South underground lot, which is just steps away from campus. There are several other parking lots nearby, and you may also consider using a parking app like Spot Hero to search for the best deals nearby.

  • Alternative options include:

    • Staying with family or friends in the area.

    • Teaming up to get a less expensive suburban hotel (or AirBNB).

    • Staying at the HI Chicago, Harris Family Hostel. (Let us know if you are! We’re working with them to have Credo participants housed together.)

    • Teaming up to split a hotel downtown. (Two within walking distance we can recommend are: Club Quarters Hotel or Cambria Hotel)

    • Pairing up with a host home. Contact us if you would like to look into the opportunity (not guaranteed).

  • Credo will provide adult chaperones for these 40 to 50 students – and would prefer those students to be mature/have experience navigating a city. String Intensive students will be busy roughly 9-5 each day, and we'll have early curfew hours at the dorm (about 9 PM). However, we can't guarantee supervision for all students in the period 5pm-9pm. It’s for this reason that we're suggesting an age of at least 16 for residential students, though we are willing to work with families who would see this as their preferred option.

    Single-occupancy rooms are available for $100/night If you'd like to be considered for this option, indicate “Yes” on the application under Housing. We are happy to have a discussion as needed.

    Students under age 16 can also stay locally with families, friends, or relatives. Public transportation to Symphony Center is very convenient from anywhere in the Chicago area.
