LOCATION
The campus is in a residential section of the
eastern part of the City of La Crosse (city pop. 51,320; county
pop. 114,638). A major point of interest on the “Great River
Road” that winds north and south through 10 states along the
Mississippi, La Crosse is on the east bank of the river below
towering bluffs separated by steep-walled ravines known as
coulees. The Seven Rivers Region is famous for its exceptional
natural beauty. Abundant water, woodlands and varying terrain
provide a year-round invitation to those who enjoy outdoor
activities such as skiing, hunting, fishing, skating, riding,
camping, and hiking. The community is at the western end of a
statewide network of bicycle trails.
La Crosse is on direct transportation routes
between Chicago, Milwaukee, Madison, and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
It is served by Amtrak from (Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and
westward and back) and bus lines. Scenic highways (Interstate 90
in particular) connect La Crosse with Chicago, Milwaukee,
Madison, Rochester, and the Twin Cities. American Airlines and
Delta Airlines provide regular flights to major Midwestern air
terminals.
