Graceland University

Our main, residential campus is located in Lamoni, Iowa.

Surrounded by rolling hills and sweeping cornfields, Lamoni might seem like your typical Iowa small town, but there's a lot more going on here. When classes are in session, this small community becomes quite cosmopolitan with the steady stream of films, musicians, artists and scholars we bring to town. Our top-notch sports teams, performing arts groups and socially active residential "houses" also provide students with plenty of things to do. And in Lamoni, people CARE. "Town Parents" host students for barbeques, the local pharmacist makes house calls when you're sick, and if you can't find your favorite cereal at the grocery store, they'll order it for you.

As charming as small town life is, the city is never far away. Entertainment, restaurants and major league sports are easily reached: Des Moines in an hour, Kansas City in less than two hours and Omaha in around three.
