Worst of Earlham College

Not the Worst

The options off campus include mainly (good) Mexican or Italian food. There are many chains (Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Arby's, O' Charley's), but also some really great local options (Little Sheba's, Gislain's, La Mex, Gallo's). They just put in a new Italian restaurant within easy walking distance of campus, next to MARSH.

Well...There's a Wal-Mart...

There is not much to do in the town of Richmond. It has a very blue collar feeling. From what I've heard, the bars are creepy. There are a few restaurants that are good, but not in walking distance. There is a movie theater, but they closed down for a period of time due to bed-bugs. There are some fast-food places, but most Earlham students eat only organic vegetarian food. North of Richmond there is a cute Amish grocery store. There is also a small mall with a few popular stores. The only place I've ever walked to off campus was Marsh, a grocery store, and professors houses.
