About Olivet

Tucked away in Eaton County, Olivet is a quiet, close-knit town built around the University of Olivet. The campus has been the heart of the community since 1844, when it was founded as one of Michigan's first colleges to welcome women and students of color. Red brick campus buildings flow right into Main Street and quiet residential blocks, giving the whole area a walkable, friendly feel. It is a peaceful place with a deep sense of history and the relaxed, neighborly charm you would expect from a small Midwestern college town.
