Anyone live in Indianapolis?

I’ve lived in Indiana all my life and am very familiar with both schools. (My wife is DePauw Class of 1990. We met in law school in Indy.) Two very different campuses… Butler is urban, and frankly not in a great part of town. (Although the campus is generally safe.) On the other hand, there is a lot more to do in Indy for sure. DePauw, by contrast, is in a small town, and is more self-contained. DePauw is an excellent liberal arts school with a fantastic local alumni base, if your daughter plans to stay in Indiana after college (and especially if she intends to go to graduate school here). Both schools have strong Greek systems, if your daughter is interested in joining a sorority.

Enjoy your visit… We’re nearing the peak fall colors here within the next couple weeks, and I suspect both campuses will look very appealing.
