If you have ever lived in a “college town”, perhaps during your college days or not, you may remember how stirring, provocative, and fun it is. College towns generally offers something different - a little more diversity, a little more freedom of expression of ideas, a little more culture, a little more economic stability, and a lot more events and festivals that enhances community building.

The ideals and general characteristics of a college town is featured prominently in the wonderfully charming college town of Greencastle, Indiana. Located in central Indiana, the City of Greencastle is home to DePauw University, a small private school regarded as one of the elite liberal arts colleges in the nation. Home to one of the country’s oldest music programs and among the most technology-advanced institutions, Depauw graduates include such figures as former Vice President Dan Quayle and novelists John Jakes and Barbara Kingsolver.

Greencastle is a place where students and residents coexist to create an energetic yet family-oriented, fun yet safe environment with a tight community bond. A special place indeed, you can truly sense the unique and lifting partnership between town and college, so much so that Greencastle was honored with the prestigious title of “All-America City” in 1991. Along with the university, Greencastle has many excellent public schools and an efficient medical facility.
