Taylor University
- Local Atmosphere

Small Town but Feels Like a Home

Upland Indiana, the city Taylor University is in, is very tiny. The university is practivally the whole city. While there is not much to do in the city, the university keeps us busy and we always find fun stuff to do. Two bigger cities are only 20-30 minutes away so we'll get a group and go out for a day or a few hours. Even though there is not much to do the people of Upland seems to enjoy having college students around and are very welcoming. We feel welcome to come attend any communtiy event or church in Upland. Its a great, loving, Christian community.

Not Geared Toward College Students

One thing that is really frustrating about the surrounding community is that nothing is open very late. Students have a lot going on and are probably going to be going to restaurants and coffee shops late at night, but nothing around here is open past 10 or 11. There is maybe one restaurant that is open 24 hours. Other than that, the community is great. They are all friendly; I just wish that there were more options for college students.

Upland= Community

Upland, Indiana is a small town with big benefits. Its a very peaceful town with little to no crime. There are always friends to hang out with from Taylor University, but if you ever want to venture out into a slightly bigger town- head to Marion, IN where there are a few more restaurants and things to do. Never forget there is an amazing ice cream parlor right down the street called Ivanhoe's. It's fantastic.
