Baldwin Wallace University's location offers both relaxed suburban living and exciting, big city opportunities. Our tree-lined campus is located in Berea, Ohio and is surrounded by a safe, residential neighborhood, historic town (population 17,900) with restaurants and shops, plus miles of park trails, rivers and lakes.

Just 12 miles up the road (a 20-minute drive), you'll find the "All-American City" of Cleveland. BW students take full advantage of all that this thriving major metropolitan area has to offer.
