• Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport to Hamiltonian Hotel 

Upon exiting the airport take 275 left (northwest).  This is a beltway around Cincinnati, and it will eventually take you north, then northeast.  At US-27 (Colerain) exit and go left (north).  Follow 27 North about 5 miles, then turn right on OH-128 (northeast) just after you cross the Great Miami River. Follow OH-128 North  to a stoplight where 128 turns right to cross the river; don't turn, but continue straight on B Street to Main Street (OH-129) in Hamilton.  Turn right to cross the river.  At the first light after the bridge, turn left; the hotel should be visible.


• Hamiltonian Hotel to Oxford (Bachelor Hall)
  
  Drive along the river to Main Street (129/177) and turn right to cross the river, staying in the left lane to avoid a forced turn after crossing.  Continue straight on 129/177 several blocks to the junction with 177 and stay in the right lane.  Rather than turning left to continue on 129, go straight on 177 and head out of town.  After the small town of Darrtown, turn left (west) on 73 and continue to its end at a T-junction with 27 (where there is a stoplight).  As you wait for the light, Bachelor Hall is on your left and parking is available on your right.  There is also a lot on the other side of Bachelor Hall (turn left on 27, then left again, then left into the lot).  Talks are in Bachelor Hall room 219 (second floor, the wing along 73).  Coffee etc is available in the room below (first floor).  

• Oxford (Bachelor Hall) to Hamiltonian Hotel   

Go east on 73, then after a few miles south on 177.  Go through Darrtown and continue into Hamilton.  Upon crossing the Miami River (as you near downtown Hamilton) turn left at the first stoplight after the bridge.  The Hamiltonian Hotel should be clearly visible.

• Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport to Oxford (Bachelor Hall)  
After exiting from the airport, take I-275 West; this is a belt road around Cincinnati. I-275 West will eventually turn into I-275 North and then I-275 East. Follow I-275 about 25 miles, then take US-27 North. Follow US-27 North about 20 miles. Before you enter Oxford, the speed limit will change to 35 mph and you will descend a steep hill and then ascend a steep hill before arriving at a traffic light. Continue about 1/2 mi. and turn right at the road immediately before the next traffic light (Western Drive). Turn left into the parking lot; the building in front of you is Bachelor Hall.


• Dayton Airport to Oxford (Bachelor Hall)
  
  After exiting from Dayton Airport, take I-70 West about 22 miles; take exit 10 (US-127) South. Follow US-127 South about 30 miles; turn right at OH-73 (West). [Note: make sure you don't miss this turn; if you see a sign for OH-73 East, you have gone too far]. Follow OH-73 West about 8 miles until it ends at a T-junction. Turn left;  take a left turn at the first road (Western Drive) after the traffic light. Turn left into the parking lot; Bachelor Hall is in front of you.


• From the West (Illinois, Indiana) to Oxford (Bachelor Hall)
  
  Take I-70 East; exit at US-27 South (Richmond, Indiana). Follow US-27 South until through Oxford, until you come to the intersection with OH-73. Pass this intersection and take a left turn at the first road (Western Drive) after the traffic light. Turn left into the parking lot; Bachelor Hall is ahead of you.


• From the north (Michigan) to Oxford (Bachelor Hall)
  
  Take I-75 South, then I-70 West about 22 miles; take exit 10 (US-127) South. Follow US-127 South about 30 miles; turn right at OH-73 (West). [Note: make sure you don't miss this turn; if you see a sign for OH-73 East, you have gone too far]. Follow OH-73 West about 8 miles until it ends at a T-junction. Turn left; take a turn left at the first road (Western Drive) after the traffic light. Turn left into the parking lot; Bachelor Hall is in front of you.


• From the east to Oxford (Bachelor Hall)
  
  Take I-70 West; turn off at exit 10 (US-127) South. Follow US-127 South about 30 miles; turn right at OH-73 (West). [Note: make sure you don't miss this turn; if you see a sign for OH-73 East, you have gone too far]. Follow OH-73 West about 8 miles until it ends at a T-junction. Turn left; then take a left turn at the first road (Western Drive) after the traffic light. Turn left into the parking lot; Bachelor Hall is in front of you.

Transportation:

Oxford is located 50 miles (about one hour) northwest of the Greater Cincinnati airport and 50 miles southwest of the Dayton airport. The Cincinnati airport is larger than Dayton and will handle most of the air traffic to our area. (Cincinnati is a hub for Delta and Dayton is a hub for USAir.)  The main problem with airport transportation is that there is no regularly scheduled shuttle service between Oxford and the airports. For those participants renting a car this is not a problem. For those arriving in Oxford by car, visitor parking permits are free and easily arranged for campus parking. You may wish to alert the organizers if you are bringing a car.
