Accommodation near the Medical College of Wisconsin places you within arm's reach of the best Milwaukee has to offer.
General Mitchell International Airport is a 25-minute drive from the campus, via I-41. From there, it's a 15-minute drive to Downtown, where Milwaukee Bay overlooks the glorious Lake Michigan. The larger Chicago O'Hare International Airport is an 80-minute drive from the college.
When passing through the Downtown area you are likely to cross over or drive past the Hoan Bridge. This award-winning construction features a tied-arch design. The back of Milwaukee Art Museum resembles the flipper of an enormous whale. The Flemish Renaissance-style City Hall dates from 1895 and wouldn't look out of place in an old European public square.
