Ohio Wesleyan is located within the City and County of Delaware, both consistently ranked as great places to live, study, work, and raise a family.

The City of Delaware (with nearly 44,000 residents) has been recognized by Money Magazine as one of the “Top 50 Places to Live in America” and by WalletHub.com for being in the 70th percentile of America’s best small cities based on economic health, affordability, quality of life, safety, and education and health.

The city’s historic downtown – steps away from OWU’s campus – offers a wide variety of shopping and dining as well as seasonal farmers’ markets and monthly “First Friday” celebrations.
