The
University of Notre Dame is located in northwest Indiana
in St. Joseph County, just minutes south of the Michigan/Indiana
border and, approximately, 90 miles east of Chicago. The
city of South Bend and the neighboring city of Mishawaka
are adjacent to the University campus and form a small,
family-oriented metropolitan area of about 258,000 residents.
The
cost of living in the South Bend area is comparatively
low, averaging 60 to 80 percent of what one would pay
in most large metropolitan areas in the U.S. Among the
cultural, recreational, and athletic activities in the
South Bend area are the South Bend Symphony Orchestra,
the Broadway Theater League, and a minor-league baseball
team.
The
Notre Dame campus is accessible by air via the South
Bend Regional airport, shuttles that run from the two
Chicago airports, and Amtrak rail service. The drive
from downtown Chicago to the Notre Dame campus typically
takes between 90 minutes and two hours, depending on
traffic.
