Pool School located in Rockford, Illinois

Cue U is located in Rockford, Illinois just 60 minutes from Chicago's O'Hare Field. Express buses from the airport connect to nearby hotels. Local restaurants cover all tastes and budgets.

For students who fly to O'Hare Field and take the express bus to a Rockford hotel, a rental car is not necessary. The Cue U staff will pick you up at your hotel each day and transport you to the Cue U class facility. Cue U is the only pool school with its own shuttle bus. The luxurious and quiet ride to and from the Cue U classroom is only a part of what you will come to know as the “Cue U experience”.

Classes at Cue U, the College of Pool and Billiards, are conducted in quiet, luxurious surroundings that are conducive to maximum learning. Students practice and experiment on the finest equipment available: a variety of exquisitely restored antique Brunswick pool tables are provided. All distractions are removed to allow students to concentrate on improving. Spectators are not allowed, and maximum privacy is assured.

The state-of-the-art Cue U facility is the world's largest full-time billiard school. It is not part of a retail store or part of a pool room, and it is never open to the public. The 12 pool tables (some of them rare antiques) in the classroom are available only to Cue U students.
