Transportation
Our local airport code is YXU (London, Ontario, Canada). While it is a bit more time consuming, if you are traveling from the U.S. it is often cheaper to fly into Detroit, MI and take the RobertQ airport shuttle van, or a FlixBus bus, to London. Similarly, if traveling from Europe, sometimes is it cheaper to fly into Toronto and take a Via Rail train, or a bus to London.
Once in London, the city has a public bus system for those needing to travel to the university, with several bus routes stopping somewhere on or near the university (as seen here). Buses tend to run every 15m to 30m (depending on the line, and day of the week). Here you can find a map of bus routes in London, and here a web app that can provide an estimated next bus arrival time for all stops.
Directions
The philosophy department is located in the northeast wing of Stevenson Hall. Room 1145 is located on the ground floor, however it is only accessible from the door directly under the bridge.
