Your best options for airport arrival is Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Chicago Midway International Airport, or South Bend International Airport. Keep in mind that you are allowed to arrive in the U.S. 30 days before your program start date. J-1 students may stay in the US 30 days after the program end date. F-1 students may stay 60 days after the program end date (this will be indicated on your DS-2019/I-20).
If you arrive in the US before the move in date of your on- or off-campus housing, you will need to find additional accommodation such as a hotel. Here are a few recommended accommodations for temporary stay at Notre Dame:
- Morris Inn on the campus of Notre Dame
- Fairfield Inn on the edge of campus
- Sacred Heart Parish Center on campus.
