Chicagoland

Olivet Nazarene University is centrally located in the beautiful and historic village of Bourbonnais, within Kankakee County, Ill. Olivetians enjoy a wealth of local cultural attractions, such as the Kankakee Valley Theatre and Symphony, as well as nature at its finest at Perry Farm or the Kankakee River State Park.

Just 50 minutes north of Olivet is Chicago – one of the world's greatest cities. While visiting Chicago, Olivetians can take a walk along the sprawling Lake Michigan shoreline, see a play or hear the symphony, and then stroll Chicago's Magnificent Mile and visit the finest shops, galleries and restaurants the Midwest has to offer.

Cultural opportunities abound on Chicago's Gold Coast with the Lyric Opera, the Field Museum, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Shedd Aquarium, the Museum of Science and Industry, a world-class theater district and so much more!

And with the Cubs, White Sox, Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Fire and Wolves, Chicago stands proudly as the mecca for professional sports.
