IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE Nestled in the gently rolling hills of west-central Indiana, Greencastle seems like any other small midwestern town. But look again and you’ll find a community alive with opportunity.

DePauw’s 100% residential campus ensures that your learning transcends the classroom and permeates every facet of student life. You’ll live among, and learn from, people who may have grown up around the corner from you – or halfway around the globe.

You’ll forge friendships that will last a lifetime and be exposed to cultures different from your own. You’ll practice collaboration and compromise. And you’ll learn the value of diverse ideas, cultures and perspectives.

Your DePauw education will enable you to find yourself. Here, in the middle of everywhere.

STUDY ABROAD AND BROADEN YOUR MIND Students who study abroad say the experience opens their eyes to different people and cultures, and broadens their perspectives.

In short, it’s life-changing.

That’s why so many DePauw students spend a winter or May term or a full semester getting outside their comfort zone and experiencing another place and culture.

And that’s why you should too.

BE WELL Many people think about “wellness” in terms of physical health only. Wellness, however, is much more than physical health – it is a full integration of physical, mental and spiritual well-being that leads to a high quality of life.

DePauw’s Lilly Physical Education and Recreation Center encapsulates our commitment to your wellness. Work out in Welch Fitness Center, then grab a smoothie at Blend smoothie bar on your way to class. Go for a swim or get up a game of basketball.

Watch your Tigers compete in Neal Fieldhouse and Erdmann Natatorium. And if you need to see a doctor or counselor, we’ve got you covered there too.
