Earlham’s
800-acre tree-shaded campus lies at the southwestern edge
of Richmond, Indiana, a city of 39,124 (2000 census). Richmond is 65 miles
from Cincinnati, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Indiana, and 40
miles from Dayton, Ohio.

The Heart
is the symbolic center of Earlham’s campus. |
In warm weather,
students seek out this grassy area for recreation, studying,
talking with a faculty member and just enjoying the natural
setting. Traditionally,
students have gathered here in times of national or international
trouble or uncertainty, joined hands and taken part in a
silent vigil.
Eighty-seven percent of Earlham students
(excluding those on off-campus studies) live on campus in
a variety of settings. The College offers seven residence
hall choices as well as 32 theme and friendship houses.
Along with athletics competitions, art exhibitions,
Student Activities Board events, and music and theatre performances,
the College sponsors an annual Artist and Lecture Series,
a Convocation Series, and many informative lectures. Earlham
students choose among more than 60 activities and organizations. |
