Northwestern's Chicago campus is located in the city's [[Streeterville]] neighborhood near Lake Michigan. The Chicago campus is home to the nationally ranked [[Northwestern Memorial Hospital]], the [[Feinberg School of Medicine|medical school]], the [[Northwestern University School of Law|law school]], the part-time MBA program, and the School of Professional Studies. Medill's one-year graduate program rents a floor on Wacker Drive, across the river from Streeterville and separate from the rest of the campus. Northwestern's professional schools and a number of its affiliated hospitals are located approximately four blocks east of the [[Chicago (CTA Red Line)|Chicago]] station on the CTA [[Red Line (Chicago Transit Authority)|Red Line]]. The Chicago campus is also served by CTA bus routes.{{cn|date=June 2024}}
