Students of Lindenwood-Belleville enjoy being part of a larger, nationally and internationally known institution, while taking classes in a smaller environment that offers all the services that are found on the St. Charles campus. Lindenwood University-Belleville students find the city of Belleville to be diverse and welcoming. With a population of just over 42,000, Belleville offers students parks, cultural events, fall festivals, a farmer’s market, shopping, sporting events, and the second oldest philharmonic orchestra in the United States. Seasonal activities in Belleville include the Oktoberfest, Chili Cook-Off, Art-on-the Square Art Fair, and holiday parades for St. Patrick's Day, Memorial Day, and Christmas.
When Lindenwood-Belleville students want to enjoy big-city amenities, they can ride the Metro Link light rail system to St. Louis and enjoy all that the city has to offer, including the Missouri Botanical Garden, the Fox Theatre, St. Louis Cardinals, St. Louis Symphony, and St. Louis Zoo just to name a few.
