Directions
Find Your Way to Olivet
Olivet is nestled in the historic village of Bourbonnais, Illinois — about an hour from Chicago. Situated on more than 275 acres, the campus consists of both historic and innovative architecture, on beautiful, park-like grounds. Nearby are coffee shops, restaurants and all the amenities a college town affords.
Experience Local
Connect Roasters
Just across the street from ONU’s campus sits the alumni-owned coffee shop. It’s the perfect spot to connect with a friend or spend time working on homework while enjoying a latte or baked good.
Frank Lloyd Wright Bradley House
Catch a tour to discover some of Kankakee’s history, learn about the owners of the house and the architect himself.
Ice Valley Centre
Enjoy skating, figure skating and hockey all at Ice Valley’s indoor ice skating rink.
Kankakee Farmer’s Market
Take advantage of the local fresh produce, handmade goods and freshly-made, ready-to-eat foods.
Kankakee River State Park
Camping, hiking, biking, canoeing, horseback riding — they’ve got it all.
Perry Farm Park
A favorite local spot for walking, running and biking. Perry Farm is just a few blocks away from campus, providing easy access to great outdoor trails along the Kankakee River.
Sequels Resale Shop
This consignment shop buys and sells top brands of clothing, shoes and accessories. Students love finding great deals on trendy items, and it’s also a great way to bring in a little cash selling clothes.
Lodging & Restaurants
If your family requires lodging, there are plenty of options. Also, while in town, stop at a few of these student favorites.
