About Lakeland

Sheboygan Community

Weill Center

Sheboygan's Weill Center hosts national and regional performing arts and features a beautiful restored theater where every seat in the house enjoys an excellent view of the stage.

Because of its rural location, Lakeland College is a community unto itself and we take great pride in its traditions and opportunities. All the positive elements of a small, growing town contribute to this community's compelling sense of self.

Beyond the campus, however, Lakeland is just 11 miles from Sheboygan, located on Lake Michigan's western shore, halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay. This city of 50,000 was recently named by Reader's Digest magazine as the "Number One Place in America to Raise a Family." In addition, Money magazine has named Sheboygan the third safest city of its size in the country. Citizens are proud of their community and work diligently to keep it attractive and livable. Fine schools, delightful residential neighborhoods, diverse cultural opportunities, extremely low crime rates, and a robust local economy all are present in this bustling metropolitan area.

About an hour's drive north of the campus is Green Bay, home of the community-proud Green Bay Packers (www.packers.com). An hour to the south is Milwaukee, offering even more opportunities for major sporting events, shopping, and other cultural diversions. And another 1-1/2 hours beyond Milwaukee is Chicago. A day or weekend trip to Chicago delivers a wealth of "moments to remember."
