If you are flying, it is generally less expensive to fly in to Portland Airport. However, Eugene offers a smaller airport and is a closer drive, but is usually more expensive. If you wish to take public transportation from the Portland airport, the Hut Airport Shuttle connects Portland Airport to Corvallis and the OSU Campus. It is easy to catch right outside of baggage claim. Please visit their website for reservations, schedule and prices http://www.hutshuttle.com/ If you arrive in Eugene, the Omni Shuttle Service connects the airport and Corvallis. For details, please visit their website at http://www.omnishuttle.com/
If you wish to take bus, there is a Greyhound Bus terminal in downtown Corvallis. The nearest Amtrak train station is in Albany, approximately 15 miles from campus.
If you are driving, a Day Use Parking Permit may be purchased at the lot on the corner of 15th and Jefferson. This lot is only a block to Furman Hall and a couple blocks to the Memorial Union where most of our sessions will be held.
You can find the links for all of the above as well as driving directions and a campus map at the following link. http://oregonstate.edu/visitors/tour/campusmap.htm
