www.gobeyondthebrochure.com/5-... - Butler University is located a few minutes from downtown Indianapolis, but the school has created its own urban bubble that students must learn to navigate. The campus tour can be misleading and attending classes every day reveals the real Butler University. I wish several points about campus life had been mentioned before I attended the university. The gorgeous campus hides a secret from incoming students. Rain turns the sidewalks into impassable streams and puddles form on every surface.
