Redlands was named a “Great So Cal College Town” by AAA Westways Magazine. The small-town charm within a city is just a short bike or free shuttle ride from campus. You’ll find yourself enjoying a cup of coffee downtown during finals, savoring one of the over 70 pizza combinations at Gourmet Pizza Shoppe or indulging in a bowl of liquid nitrogen ice cream from á la minute. Historic homes, America’s longest continuously running summer music festival with no admission charge, and beautiful parks make the city of Redlands a one-of-a-kind gem in the Southern California region. The University’s close ties to nonprofit organizations and local businesses, including Amazon and Esri, the largest geographic information systems mapping software company in the world, make it a great place to land an internship or get involved with community service.
