    Bellarmine's 145-acre campus is perched atop rolling hills with commanding views of surrounding parks and historic architecture. Bellarmine is within walking distance to the city's most diverse and eclectic urban district and only five miles from downtown Louisville.  

    Louisville is renowned for its rich arts and cultural offerings. It’s home to the Actors' Theatre of Louisville, the Kentucky Center for the Arts, the Kentucky Orchestra, the Kentucky Opera, the J.B.

Louisville is within a few hours of such major cities as Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Nashville, and six hours or less from Atlanta, Chicago, Memphis and St. Louis.   

    Exchange students live in Anniversary Hall or similar dormitory, which feature bedroom suites -- two double-occupancy bedrooms that are connected by a full bathroom. The suites are well-appointed with all the furnishings students need. 

    There are 25 men’s and women’s athletic teams and spirit groups, including baseball, basketball, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, tennis, track and field and volleyball. Most teams are NCAA Division I and compete in the ASUN Conference. Students cheer on our athletes by attending games and participating in Knights Nation – the pep club.
