From either of these places, it will take approximately 30-50 minutes to arrive in Nijmegen.
Train information is given on the yellow time tables located in station halls, on train platforms or on the internet: www.ns.nl. Local buses stop on campus, e.g. on the Erasmuslaan. There are several connections from Nijmegen Central Station to these bus stops (e.g. line 10 Heyendaal Shuttle, lines 3 and 4 to Wijchen). If you exit at the Erasmuslaan bus stop, the tall concrete building in front of you (carrying the university logo) is the Erasmusbuilding, located at the Erasmusplein 1. The Faculty of Arts resides in this building.
