OUR HOME

Fremont is located in Eastern Nebraska and lies in the valley between the Platte and Elkhorn Rivers. Recreational opportunities and community amenities make Fremont an excellent location for students to enjoy the quality of life unique to Nebraska.

Activity abounds as the community is home to the Fremont State Lakes, a state park with 20 lakes. The Fremont Family YMCA is the largest in the country, offering an Olympic-size swimming pool and aquatic center.

Fremont is also a shopper’s delight, brimming with wonderful antique stores, boutiques, and a historic downtown district. A movie theater, minutes from campus, gives students a place to unwind, and there are an abundance of restaurants and coffee shops that will cater to everyone’s culinary tastes.

Fremont is just 20 minutes from Omaha, where all the amenities of a major city are available.

“Residence halls become more than just a place to live; they transform into vibrant communities and cultivate spaces where students can build meaningful relationships, communicate openly, and celebrate their diverse experiences and achievements.”

Assistant Director of Residence Life Programming

At Midland, learning extends beyond the classroom. Our campus includes 33 varsity sports, 6 different arts programs, student government, campus ministries, sororities, fraternities, intramural and club sports, and academic and social organizations.
