Bus routes on-line. From the airport, you can also catch a bus heading into the "city." Get off at the corner of Memorial Ave and Ilam Road, or Memorial and Clyde; it is then a 7 or 8 minute walk to the university. Memorial Ave is the main road from the airport into town, and is somewhat parallel to Maidstone and Creyke Roads.
