Location
In the center of Michigan's lower peninsula, Alma is two and one-half hours northwest of Detroit and within two hours of Michigan's beaches and ski areas.
Residential Campus
On Alma's campus, 26 major buildings surround a scenic central mall. Prairie-style architecture combines red brick with limestone capstones throughout the campus; most of Alma's buildings have had recent renovations, giving the campus a modern look. Residence halls and athletic playing fields are located around the perimeter of the campus. The Klenk Baseball Field and Scotland Yard Soccer Field are located on Charles Road within walking distance of the campus.
Located in a residential neighborhood five minutes' walk from downtown shops, Alma College also owns many small housing units on streets surrounding the campus. These provide students an alternative to residence hall living. Among them are five fraternity and five sorority houses, Service Learning and Model U.N. houses, a Women's Resource Center, the Smith Alumni House, the Centennial House, and the President's House.
The Alma College Ecological Station is located south of Vestaburg and 12 miles west of the College campus. The site of faculty/student research since 1889, this 200-acre tract is used for biology, geology and ecology field study. At its center is a small lake, surrounded by a floating mat consisting primarily of sphagnum moss and boreal plants.
