Lincoln Life

Lincoln is the ultimate college city.
With 250,000 people, Lincoln has the same movies, stores, shows, restaurants, and coffee shops that you’d find in other major cities. But here, you don’t have to compete with millions to get into them. And with campus right downtown, the fun isn’t far away.

*#1 U.S. City, Quality of Life
State University of New York study, 2004

* The city of Lincoln grows by over 3,000 people each year, yet it remains as one of the safest communities of its size in the nation. That means more opportunities for fun with fewer worries.
