住在奥马哈
Welcome to Omaha. You’re a perfect fit.
Maybe you’re looking for a college in a friendly, easy-to-live place with lively neighborhoods where you can really feel like part of the community. Or maybe you’re looking to find a city with culture to spare, 良好的食物, plenty of 现场音乐—and access to nature, 太.
In Omaha, you get both. It won’t take you long to feel like you’re at home here; we can’t wait to show you around!
Students Explain: What is Omaha Like?
The Big O(utdoors)
For a city with 900,000 residents, you’d be amazed how quickly you can access nature. Long nature walks, exotic animals and even snowshoeing are within minutes of downtown.
Walk this Walkway
3,000-foot-long Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge spans the Missouri River and connects Omaha with Iowa. You can stand in two states at the same time!
Get your culture on.
Go to a museum in one of the most admired art deco buildings in the world during the day then turn up to a Broadway show or stand-up performance at night. Living in one of the Midwest’s biggest cities means there’s always something to see.
把声音调大!
Omaha’s both an incubator for homegrown music and a regular tour stop for international acts. Whether you’re looking for rock, 乡村和民间, 爵士乐, hip-hop or something else, you’ll hear it here.
- Slowdown: This popular indie music venue is operated by Saddle Creek Records, home to artists such as Big Thief, Bright Eyes and Black Belt Eagle Scout.
- Maha Festival: This multi-day summertime staple brings big-name acts and speakers.
- Midtown Crossing: 更多的 outdoor concerts! Jazz on the Green and Playing with Fire, a blues fest.

Bluejays, and a lot more.
Creighton fields 14 NCAA Division I teams in eight sports. Our men’s basketball team, which plays in the 18,000-seat CHI Health Center Omaha, earns regular bids to the Big Dance—the NCAA Tournament. Our men’s and women’s soccer teams, which both play in the 7,500-seat Morrison Stadium, have also been to the NCAA Tournament several times, and our volleyball team is routinely ranked among the best in the nation.
Omaha has plenty of action outside of Bluejay athletics, 太. 每年, the College World Series plays in downtown’s Charles Schwab Field, and we’ve hosted four U.S. Olympic Swim Trials. And you can check out future stars watching the Omaha Storm Chasers, the Triple-A affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, and the Omaha Lancers USHL hockey team.
