95th Street/Chicago State University is a simple Metra flag stop (on hourly or better off-peak trains) with a small one car long wooden-high level island platform with a single black white domed bus shelter for waiting passengers. This platform is in between the middle two tracks of the four track electrified Metra Line with four additional (some are sidings) freight and Amtrak tracks to the east. To leave the platform, all passengers must pass through a small wooden hunt at the southern end of the platform with doors on both ends. This entrance house has a small window next to the door at each end and blue trim instead just being painted entirely grey. A Metra Passenger Assistance and Information phone (in a silver enclosure that looks like a payphone and has a TTY keyboard) along with a bench are inside. From here a staircase leads down to a short low-level platform area (with small wooden boarding areas for trains on the outside tracks) before leading to a grey portal that surrounds the one staircase off the platform down to the north sidewalk of 95th Street and Cottage Grove Avenue (which is discontinuous at 95th Street, shifting from the westside of the tracks north of 95th Street, to the east side South of 95th Street).
