I noticed a position located at Bradley U that I'm interested in but know very little about the school or the area.

Any information about the place would be appreciated.

TIA.

I've only been to Peoria by accident; a little inattention while driving from Chicago to St. Louis, and there you are!

Of course, as this also implies, you are within relatively easy driving distance of two great cities.

Yes, and Champaign-Urbana, with the University of Illinois, is an easy 90 minutes.  Indianapolis is an easy four hours.  Many Peorians go to Chicago for daytrips to shop, go to the theatre, fly out of the larger airports, etc.

It is a very affordable and liveable small city.

Bradley largely draws its student body from the Midwest, but there are international students and students from other parts of the country as well.
