Lively Sioux City attractions await Briar
Cliff students
Briar Cliff
University combines the best of both worlds. The safe, secure campus is
neatly tucked in the picturesque Loess Hills of northwest Iowa. Yet, all the
attractions of a vibrant tri-state metropolis are within minutes of campus
by car, bus, bicycle or on foot.
A dynamic metropolitan area of
approximately 125,000 residents, the Sioux City area offers everything from indoor and
outdoor concerts and sporting events to an array of cultural offerings,
coffee bars, and serious shopping.
Sioux City boasts
dozens of parks and recreation areas for both warm- and cold-weather
activities. Movies, theater, a symphony orchestra, a new downtown art
center, restaurants, museums, and clubs are part of the lively Sioux City
scene.
Set in the lush
Missouri River Valley, the area is steeped in a colorful Lewis and Clark
Expedition heritage. That heritage is celebrated with Sioux City's
$14-million river-front development which brings year-round activities to
downtown. Local history also lives on Fourth Street where restaurants, a
microbrewery, an art gallery and antique shops are at home in restored 19th
century Richardsonian and Victorian buildings.
The Sioux City
area is home to dozens of employers that fuel
economic growth and promote a healthy standard of living for residents. The
area's positive economic profile combined with its endless possibilities for
fun, and its safe, secure environment make Sioux City the perfect place for
living and learning.
