One of the perks of being a Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College student is the opportunity to live and study in a quiet and peaceful campus. However, because SMWC is located five miles northwest of Terre Haute, students also have easy access to a variety of places to shop, eat and hang out. There’s a lot of things to do in Terre Haute but here are six of them:
1. Eat a square donut at the famous place by the same name!
