| The South Bend English Institute sits on the beautiful Indiana University South Bend campus, located in the friendly college city of South Bend, Indiana. With more than 250,000 residents, South Bend is the fourth largest city in Indiana and is home to several colleges, most notably being Indiana University South Bend and the University of Notre Dame. South Bend is a favorite destination for American football fans as the College Football Hall of Fame is located in the heart of the city. The Hall features memorials and memorabilia of great American football players and coaches involved at the college-level, as well as areas to test fans' punting, passing, speed and agility. South Bend is located 152km from the heart of downtown Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States following New York City and Los Angeles. Commonly referred to as the "Second City" or the "Windy City," Chicago has long been recognized as a financial, industrial and transportation center, in addition to its colorful mosaic of ethnic diversity. While exploring the city, don't forget to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo, the nation's oldest public zoo; the Art Institute of Chicago, home of the largest collection of Impressionist paintings outside of Paris; or the three of the world's tallest buildings, the Sears Tower, the Amoco Building and the John Hancock. Sports enthusiasts have no problem in finding a team to cheer for in Chicago, a city home to dedicated fans that are serious about their sports teams, including The Bulls (NBA basketball), the much-beloved Bears (NFL football), The Blackhawks (NHL hockey), The Fire (soccer) and the historic baseball teams, The Chicago Cubs and the 2005 World Series champions, The White Sox. |

The university campus is situated along the banks of the St. Joseph River and offers picturesque surroundings for students to enjoy while walking to class. Outside of the classroom over 70 student-run organizations are active within the campus community, encouraging IUSB students to write for the student newspaper, "The Preface," join fraternities or sororities, play in intramural and club sports teams, perform in the student theatre and musical productions or learn about new languages and cultures through the International clubs. As fans of the IUSB sports teams, "The Titans," students and the campus community are sure to be on-hand to cheer on their much-loved men's and women's basketball teams. |
