Computer Systems Institute’s Skokie campus is located in Cook County in a suburb of Chicago. We are 1/4 mile west of the Edens Expressway (I-94) and approximately 200 yards north of the Skokie Swift (CTA Yellow Line), a major train and bus hub. Skokie is conveniently located only 16 miles north/northwest of downtown Chicago, making it very accessible for students who live outside the city to travel into the city.

Sights around Skokie
While students can conveniently travel from Skokie to Chicago by using public transportation, there are also things to see in Skokie itself.
Downtown Skokie (the Village Green) hosts many events throughout the summer, including restaurant discount days and farmers’ markets. Every May, a two-day Festival of Cultures is held in Oakton Park, featuring various activities, food, and entertainment from countries around the world. Students can also visit the Skokie Heritage Museum and find out about the area’s history and what life was like in the 19th century.
