How long of commute would it be from Wheaton to Lincoln Park area on the Metra? Also my daughter has an internship at Children's Memorial Hospital this fall. Any ideas on where to live? She needs a short term lease in a safe neighborhood. We would like it to be near public transportation. Thanks for your help

You would have to take the Metra to downtown, and then take the 'el' to the northside. I would probably give that about 2 hours each way. Sounds like a real pain in the rear if you ask me.

If she has an internship at Children's Memorial (in Lincoln Park) then I suggest she live there for it. The neighborhood is perfectly safe (crime rates lower than a lot of suburbs), but rather expensive. I'm sure that she would be able to find a short term lease as it is a rather transient neighborhood popular with students and new transplants.

If she lives in Lincoln Park, there is no need for her to keep the car, public transportation and taxis are plentiful, however parking isn't.
